Extended Service Quotes

The problem is not the price of the warranty, but finding someone that will accept it. BTW, Camping World would be the last place I would take my RV for work.

The other issue is these type of warranties are very high profit starting out. If you want to do this warranty, hit them with $2,000 as the max you will pay, then be prepared to walk. Then, as you're walking, watch them chase you to your car trying to get you back in so they can "give you a better deal". Never accept the first rip-off quote on a warranty.

They sell those plans because they are hugely profitable. Just put the money in the bank and self-insure.

pauldub has the right idea, if your the least bit handy you and a friend can fix things yourself, being a owner of a rv you,ll learn fast ,and I too would not go to CW for anything, have you read the stories on this site about them? that alone drives me away . I,M lucky theres a mom pop rv dealers just twenty miles away ,

I agree with Pauldub, these guys make up the profit they loose from discounting RVs with these plans. You can do a lot of repairs with $4500 plus deductables. They are notoriously profitable because they are hard to use and cover things that don't happen. Insure yourself.

I bought one and am going to war with them over a claim they absolutely should honor, but are denying. Just so you know.....

Buy a one year policy to cover any infant failures and then cancel the policy and self insure with the rest of your money. Take the rv out a lot in that year to exercise all systems well and force any infant failures.

I would not consider such a warranty. First, the odds are not in your favor. These extended warranty companies know what fails and when, as well as how much it costs to repair. Deducting the 30% plus profit margin for the seller out of the costs plus another 30% profit margin for the warranty company itself, that tells you they expect to pay out on average only $1800 on your $4500 investment.

In addition, many of those extended warranty companies have a business model that is so full of exclusions and loopholes, that getting them to pay is difficult. Read the actual policy, not the sales brochure.

Extended warranties are nothing but a scam, don't waste your money. As noted bank {actually do it}, that $4,500 and stay on top of preventative maintenance and you will be fine.

:C

At first they quoted $9000 for the policy. We said no. Now, they've come back with this offer of $4500. Said the first offer was a "mistake" and the wrong info. was accidentally put into computer.

And they also told you the wrong price on the rig which they claimed was an accident. How many accidents are to many.
The salesman knows exactly what he is doing each step of the way.
Have you gone to the Good Sam extended warranty website and gotten a quote there? Might be interesting.
