Get a copy of the policy and read the exclusions before you spend any money.
Bought our camper in 2006. It was pre-owned and three years old at that point. First RV purchase and got talked in to the $1400 extended warranty.... "As a new RV owner, it would really suck for you to have something go wrong...."
The camper was (and still is) kept inside a heated shop. It is only out when being used. Fifteen months after purchase I discovered the camper had extensive dry-rot in the wings. I suspect the dealer knew about it when he sold it to me.
Discovered the hard way that water damage, regardless of cause, is not covered in the extended warranty. The RV dealer (Curtis Trailers in Portland, OR) wouldn't even return my call when I asked for his help. Needless to say I have a rather dim view of RV dealer ethics as a result.
