RV extended warrantee

We bought an extended warrantee on our new travel trailer at a cost of over $3900.00. The company's name is Compass RV Coverage. The dealer (Broodmore Rv in Paasco, WA) told us that the policy would cover anything that could go wrong with the unit would be covered. Well, guess what?
What is clearly written in the contract about axles being covered, doesn't mean squat. Why? Well, we must have abused the covered component during the usage of the trailer and that means the axles are not under warrantee.
Our trailer has never seen even a dirt driveway and is towed with great care. The tires started showing wear after a bout with a freeway construction zone in Utah.
Buyer Beware!!!!!! This is the second extended coverage we've purchased that has been a total waste of money because there is always a way out for the company.
There is special place in my heart for companies like these and dealers that sell their products.

  • I've never bought an extended warranty and hey I've never needed one. Guess what, I am way ahead.
  • Isn't there an expression something like: `fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me'.
  • This is where an ' all hazards' clause could apply. The contract you entered into must have a n exempt clause to road hazard.
    Thats the exemption they are trying to imply.
    Fight it. No road hazard caused the failure. A bout with a sanctioned construction zone is not an unexpected road hazard,
  • reread ,what makes to think its the axle? could be just cheap tires. or bent rim. hope it works out for you.
  • Sorry to hear about your situation.
    Extended warrantees are a tough decision. Many say they are not worth it.
    I got an extended warrantee on my 2018 Arctic Fox 25Y. A shop said the springs were sagging. I replaced the springs and the warrantee covered it without any hassle. Company is PreserveRV.
    Good luck!
  • sorry, take your rv to a trailer shop. not the dealer. and I,d bet you won,t buy another warrenty, curious what could you have done to void the warrenty? I,d fight this one.
