Looking for an Extended Warranty Company

Hello all,

We have a 2012 30' Itasca Class A and are looking for an extended warranty. Other than Good Sam, are their any other reputable companies we should consider?

Thanks

  • Look into Route 66 Classic Coverage, they list what is NOT covered. Had them for our '94 Adventurer and they were great to work with. More than got the cost back on a generator rebuild.

  • We have one through Easy Care and we are quite happy with it. Over the last year they have replaced the Transmission Control Module, the waterpump, the refrigerator and the front air conditioner. They require that one of their inspectors see and approve the work before the repair facility performs the repair. This usually takes 24 hours.

    Thanks..... I had just finished reading that blog earlier this morning and called WholesaleWarranties.com. Unfortunately, they cannot sell policies to anyone
    residing in California :(
  • I run a auto repair shop and although we don't deal with RV warranties, we deal with about every auto warranty company out there. That being said, I've never heard the words "extended warranty company" & "reputable companies" used in the same sentence by anyone who's purchased one. I've heard other words used but none that I'd be able to type here. Most of them find any way they can to get out of paying a claim. Once had a guy who had bought a car with 103 K on it (at the time of purchase). The warranty clearly stated it didn't cover vehicles over 100K. Advised him to get an attorney. Another guy had a hitch installed. You guessed it, warranty was void even though the repair was for the radio. My experience is that anytime we call in a claim, we're ALWAYS in for a fight. They just don't pay out.

    Most people even finance the warranty so they're paying interest on the warranty throughout the loans terms. I always think of that as it will be the last part of the loan paid off.

    I think most people would be better off keeping their cash. You have to consider how long you're going to keep it and how many miles you're going to put on it.

    Most problems with anything pop up during the factory warranty or way down the road past the point where you've traded it off.

    Somebody may sing praises for some company somewhere but I don't have any good songs.

    ;)

    It's a good thing you're looking into it.
