Absolutely not worth it, it is nothing but a huge profit source for the dealer.

No, No, No and again No! Buy some Scotchgard for the furniture, high quality wax for the exterior and save 1500+.

No.

This is one of the biggest scams in the RV and auto industry. Do not bite! Be firm, no matter what their selling pressure is. Sprays, goops and gunks would be used (and sold for profit) by the manufacturer if they really helped.

If you were to buy it, then they'd tell you that you need to come back every two years for a recoat.

The reason the dealer is pressuring you to buy it is because it is mostly profit. They will have about $100 in material, 2 hours labor for the lot guy, and about $250 to the product wholesaler for the "warranty." So it is so much profit for the dealer, they will about cry real tears to get you to buy. Does it have any value? About as much as a can of Scotchguaard and a bottle of spray wax. Should you buy it? Only if you want to give away your money.

Tell them you want the package thrown in at no additional cost to do the deal.

Pure snake oil!!! When my last dealer tried that I told him that if he tried to insult my intelligence again I was walking. That ended any talk of "protective coatings" or extended warranties.

It's one of the biggest scams in the RV industry. It's nothing but soap and wax, and Scotchguard for the furniture. I would walk away from that dealer, period. If he's trying to scam you on that, what else is he trying to sell you and at what price, and I would put it exactly like that.

I bought my trailer from Holiday World in League City, Tx and they tried to run that one on me. Because of that, I won't go there to buy my next trailer.

Ooooooooo this is as good a value as Theater Popcorn and Ball Park Hot Dogs. Or that portion of the fortune from the son of the now deceased king of moogooboogoo Nigeria.

I would go for the plan as offered above: "Do it for free or watch my tail lights".

But beware. They WILL NOT DO IT, they will make a mistake and "believe in their heart and soul that the preservative was applied". Aw gee whiz. Be there when they do it. Examine the rig closely, before and after. MAKE THEM WRITE ON THE SALES CONTRACT THE PRESERVATIVE WAS APPLIED. Then you have them by the hurtin' hairs.

Like the time I purchased a used car in the Bay Area. Car had "17,000" miles on it. Got home and found a sales receipt under the spare tire from the dealership three weeks before showing the actual mileage at 79,000 miles. The dealer had fitted mew brake and clutch pedal pads and charged the customer for them while doing routine service. The receipt advised "Suspected transmission countershaft bearing failing". I took the car and the receipt to the Alameda Country District Attorney. I was 18 years old when I got my first, and lasting impression of automobile dealers. Of course the dealer tried to slime his way out of it. But they had already sold my trade-in. The Assistant D.A. told them "Make This Man Pleased (I was a boy)". They signed the ownership certificate over to me, and fixed the transmission at no charge. I had to pay 21 dollars in license fees. Then their slimy finance company partner demanded I had to pay for the car. A couple of deputies sent to their office fixed that problem.

So I remain leery of "New Car" hustle. Ninety percent are sleazy.
