Personally I would have spent a bit more on the RV and bought one that wasn't driven like a rental, literally.
But, this is flip a coin, 50/50 shot at best that even a seemingly warrantable item will be covered. Know the rest of the fine print, as the covered "parts" are strictly internal hard parts and there is a real chance that there is langauge in the policy that voids coverage due to damage caused by components that aren't covered. IE: trans cooler line breaks and dumps fluid and the failure of the internal lubricated parts ( the trans) is considered consequential damage due to failure of a part that isn't covered.
Not saying this particular thing is a prominent issue, just an example.
From someone who understands vehicle mechanics, I wouldn't even consider spending money on a warranty on a vehicle that has no business having a warranty any longer.
Although you may not be mechanically inclined, you should be astute enough to understand the risks you're taking and not gullible enough to realize there's no free lunch.
Of course if everyone was, then these aftermarket warranty companies wouldn't exist...
