The skinny on Extended Warranties
Lets share some info (not judgment). What plan do you have? Where did you buy it? What was the cost? (if we tell the truth here it will benefit many people. If we lie to make ourselves seem...

We were offered an extended service contract in 2007 for our new 2008 Monaco Dynasty for $8,000 (5 yrs., I think). I took the brochure and read it cover to cover. It didn't seem to cover much at all, so MANY exceptions that it made my eyes cross.
We, generally, have had very few problems over the 70,000 miles and 7.5 yrs of ownership. I realize how lucky we were after reading some of these posts. We certainly did not spend $8,000 in repairs (not including regular maintenance).
The items that I remember off the top of my head are:
- Replaced hydraulic hose for rear slide (the L O N G one).
- 4 anti-freeze boxes (1st under warranty)
- Slide adjustment
- Front roof-air replacement (under warranty, labor cost only)
- kitchen hose repair
- Aqua-Hot board shorted due to above kitchen hose leak
- New hydraulic box for leveling and added brace
- Broken windshield wiper arm
Honestly, I think during that time our out of pocket repairs were less the $5,000.
New tires (8), new AGM batteries (8), replaced chassis batteries twice (2), belts, hoses, oil changes (every 10K miles), chassis lubes (every 5K miles), other maintenance... in 7.5 yrs... $14,550 (close est.).
