Extended Warranty

I am close to buying a 2010 Class C. I am using Southeast Financial for the financing and they have offered an extended warranty plan from Preferred RV Protection. The total cost for the warranty is 4000.00. It is good for 10 years or 40000 miles.

I have always stayed away from extended warranties for things like appliances or new tv's, etc.

What is the general consensus here: worth it or a waste of money?

    1. Read the actual policy and not the sales brochure to fully understand what is and is not covered.
    2. The policy is only as good as the company behind it. How long have they been in business? What are their financial resources?
    3. If you are putting that extended warranty into the RV loan, it is more than $4000!
    4. Extended warranties have massive profits for the dealer. You should look at after market companies like Good Sam to decide if the price is competitive.

    I consider it a waste of money. Others will disagree.
