RV Warranties

I have never had a travel trailer, always a tent but now wife and me are retired and looking for a used travel trailer. I found out they don't have warranties,even ones that are one year old. So I'm want to know what other RVers do, mainly should get a warranty from GS etc. I've heard that some repairs are very expensive.

You either buy new for the warranty (and a never slept in bed :W ) or you buy used without a warranty and deal with anything that comes up yourself, meaning you either fix what's wrong yourself OR take it to someone who can and pay them to do it. Either way, do yourself a favour and forget any notion you might have that camping in an RV of any sort is "inexpensive" ... it's not, not by a long shot. If you're lucky you won't have any major issues but you always do want to be aware that catastrophe can be waiting just around the corner for you - believe it, a dead fridge that needs to be replaced won't be inexpensive. Most would probably agree that water leakage is the worst as it can easily destroy a trailer to the point where it's a write off, so especially if you're buying used pay very careful attention for any signs of water leakage. If you don't know what to look for pay to have the unit inspected before purchase by someone who does.
