5 years? what would the payments be over 10-12 years? what is the average length of a motorhome purchase financing now days? the increase in payment is more like $10-11. like I said, in 28 months he would have diddly squat to pay for that refrigerator. but yes, if you can afford to do it, self insure, if not and if a bad refrigerator, etc. will put you out of commission for a summer, then perhaps a person should go that $10. in fact if they cut down on full body paint which seems to be an obsession here, they can save $6,000.

Bumpy,
You make a valid point. Not mentioned so far is the price paid for the coach the OP is looking at purchasing an extended warranty on. $1400 is a lot to me for a $25,000 coach. It is almost nothing for a $100,000 Airstream trailer. One good leak and the floor gets ruined and the Airstream goes back to the factory for repairs and the $1400 is not even a down payment on the fix. But, again, it is a gamble and I guess it depends on how lucky the OP thinks he/she is. The more expensive the coach, the less I would be willing to take a gamble. The less expensive the coach, the more willing I would be to take that gamble.
