It's funny how this works:
We didn't buy the extended warranty on the 2003 truck. This year I've shelled out $3000 for repairs on it. Of course there was the issue of the mechanic that went out of business...so I ended up paying twice. Still not too bad for a 11-year old vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it.
However, I did purchase the 7-year extended warranty for $1600 from the dealer when we purchased our camper. Normally I wouldn't do that, but it's been handy. Recently our converter went bad and was replaced. Last year the furnace glitched and needed a replacement board. And we're getting our refrigerator fixed. All of this was done for free. Granted, I probably could have shelled out the money to fix this and it definitely would have been less than half of $1600. But we do have 3 more years on the warranty.
That said, I'm more concerned that all these appliances should have LASTED longer than three years - our trailer is a 2010, after all. So imho it has been a wash.
