Extended Warranties, Service Contracts and Mechanical Breakdown Insurance policy coverage varies from one provider to another, but speaking for Good Sam Extended Service Plan, we do cover items that are added or replaced outside of the original factory, as long as they are a covered item to begin with, and that they are properly installed.
We recognize that items like refrigerators may only last five years or so, and will need to be replaced. Since we cover RVs up to 18 years old, we would cover the replacements. Likewise, you may add things like awnings or a satellite dish from an after-market source, and as long as these items are correctly installed, they will be covered by Good Sam.
Scott, thank you for your appearance and replies on the forum. I have two theoretical questions for you regarding your Good Sam program.
1. Coach has a Norcold absorption refrigerator. An authorized service facility has determined that the cooling unit needs to be replaced. The coach owner would like to install a residential refrigerator.
Would the Good Sam policy pay the shop, or coach owner, up to the charges that would be incurred to replace the cooling unit, even if the final invoice from the shop did not specifically show an absorption cooling unit replacement?
2. Coach has a single LNB King Dome unit that is diagnosed as requiring repairs or replacement.
Pretty much the same question 1. If the owner decided to upgrade to something like a Winegard multi-LNB unit, would the Good Sam policy pay the shop, or coach owner, up to the charges that would be incurred to replace the King Dome unit?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
