Many on this forum would say it is not worth the cost, and would suggest you "self insure" (set cash aside for repairs). A good idea if you can do it. When we bought our new WhiteHawk the dealer offered us a 7 year service policy (which probably really boils down to 5 on the trailer since Jayco offers a 2 year warranty on it, but most of the appliances have only 1 year warranty) and we took it. Hopefully will not need it, but we've got it.
If you do decide to buy it, ask who underwrites and administers the plan. The one we purchased is from Nation Interstate, an established company that offers a variety of RV insurance products.
