I'd probably keep it 2 years at most. I just replaced the engine in my conversion van at a cost of $3400, and the tranny fixed for $900. If I'm buying an RV with 144,000 miles it seems a $1600 warranty isn't a bad idea. Looking at as and reading the forums make me think RVs are overloaded and experience frequent powertrain problems.
FWIW, my sales contact at El Monte told me, when I asked about drive train extended warranties, that they used to offer them, through the same company that CA uses. The reason they stopped, and just went with offering their own 12/12 power train warranty, is that she wasn't aware of any case in which the extended warranty company actually paid on a claim - which, of course, made for unhappy customers.
She said the 4 year "box" warranty which covers all the major coach systems, is actually pretty good and the company that supplies it is reliable. Thinking about that one. Picking up my motorhome Wednesday.
