Ask the dealer why he needs to sell you an extended warranty in addition to the FREE WARRANTY FOREVERthey are already providing?
Lots of dealers are in that program. Its a revenue generator for the service department. The required yearly inspection is just that, an inspection. When they then find the roof needs sealed you pay. The bearings need greased you pay. Next thing you know the $199 required yearly inspection just cost you $800 not counting the cost of the two trips hauling the rig back and forth to the dealer to begin with. If they could figure out a way to charge you for that they would. P.T. Barnum said it best.
Personally I won't do business, or even walk into a dealership that touts that RV Warranty Forever BS. You should see they take all their customers as suckers the second they put up the sign.
It's not unlike the sign in the service department that says "RVDA-RVIA Certified Technicians" They may have one out of 10 that is certified, or they may have had one in the past whom was fired for drinking on the job. What they probably have is some nose picking hackjob kid whose past work history consists of being the Executive VP of fries at McDonalds or the Director of coffee at 7-11.
