Extended warranty

As a proponent of the Extended Warranty, my advice would be this. First, stop by one or two of your local dealers and ask them which one they prefer. They are the ones that deal with them and will let you know which ones give hassles and which ones are better. Second, read the fine print before you commit. Look for ones that offer a non exclusionary clause. This means they tell you what is NOT COVERED. Everything else is. That way you know exactly what's covered and what's not. Look for the 'weasel' clause - something like "If a covered part fails because of a non covered part failure, the covered part is not covered". Lawyereze for "You are screwed". Third, since your rig is new, there should be coverage on all your 'stuff' from the mfgs. i.e. Dometic, AquaHot, whatever. IMO, extended warranties are good if the mfgs warranties have expired or it's an unknown coach with unknown maintenance done to it, i.e. repo. Personally, I'd pass on an extended warranty on a new coach. Costs vary, but expect around $1k/yr. I used Wholesale Warranties for my last two contracts, both of which paid for themselves....Dennis
