In 2004 I bought a 2002 Ambassador and an ExtraRide platinum policy. That one cost about $4500 for 7 year 75K miles. Policy paid for a little over $12,000 in repairs and when we traded the coach, we received an $800 refund. Traded for a 2007 Scepter in 2007. Same policy, with some negotiations was $2700. Policy paid for lots of repairs, rear camera monitor, pulling fuel tank and repair, various slide seals and AC repairs. When policy expired, I checked on a new seven year policy. Cost was over $12,000 for same coverage. Checked with several independent sales outfit and costs ranged from $3,000 PER YEAR to $9,000 for seven year policy. Cheapest policy was $3500 to cover RV part of coach, no running gear coverage and none of the improvements added since coach was built (residential refrigerator) and such. Decided cost of policy wasn't worth it so I'm going without.
