I would not spend any thing.
Your travel trailer is covered by manufacturers warranty for the first year.
However about the only thing Rockwood is actually covering is the box of the trailer. All components are covered by their manufacturer with Rockwood acting as an agent
Anything that goes wrong out of warranty, just pay out of pocket to a mobile tech
I know people are on here crying about perceived lack of quality, but in forty years owning three TT's,I have had an awning recalled(covered by Dometic) and a Carbon monoxide detecter go bad.
Look at it this way, if you are camping and a component goes bad, trip over,leave the trailer at a dealer for a month two, three, who knows. Call a local tech, he comes out that day maybe tomorrow, he replaces a 30 dollar igniter, with one he had on his truck, you pay him and your good.
Rockwood did nothing but design and assemble. All components from the tires to the roof vents are vendor items.
I have not spent 300 dollars in repairs since I have been doing this. Maintenance yes, not repairs.
