Extended warranties are they worth the cost

Yes another question and I know the dealership will try and sell. Basic warranty is for 1 yr. is it worth the money and what is a reasonable charge. Thanks
  • It also may depend on if;
    there is a deductible?
    they pro-rate?
  • Hard to say if you'll get your money's worth or not. The way RVs are made these days (ie poorly) the odds are on your side that you would. I've never forked out for extended warranties and have been lucky so far. My father on the hand did, for the first time, with his new Rockwood fiver and has gotten his moneys worth and then some. What a lemon.
  • I can see a plan on MHs because of what some of the components cost - mine came with one from the people we bought it from for a $50 transfer fee and so far it's saved me $800.

    You're getting a travel trailer which doesn't have any of the large ticket items like an engine, transmission or rear end. Unless it's very cheap and it gives you peace of mind, you should be able to cover any expenses out of pocket. Probably the most expensive item in it is the refer?
