Extended Warranty Help

Getting ready to buy a Class A MH. Looking to buy an extended warranty for it as I will be on the road a lot

Who would you recommend using for the warranty if not going thru the dealer. Is it cheaper to buy direct (i assume it is) than going thru the dealer?

Thanks in advance

    Read the actual policy, not the sales brochure. Most extended warranties are very good about wording their policies so things are not covered. Example, "If a non covered part causes a covered part to fail, the covered part will not be covered."


    Funny you mention that. One of the companies I got a quote from actually mentioned that and had an add on that covers that specific issue

    not saying this is not true but have never seen nor heard of such Have you a quote from a policy that says things such as this ?
    seems a bit on the odd side at best if such a thing is out there

    Good sam seems to have a decent rate ? make sure you know exactly what your getting before buying (that is proper coverage for your needs)
    ""SOME"" companies give you back 80% of the policy if u go claim free
  • Just be sure to read the fine print of whatever policy that you get. Some have various limitations depending on the age of the vehicle.
    If I remember right, one extended warranty gave the company the option to give back the premium INSTEAD of covering the cost of a major repair.
