Is extended dealership warranty worth it?
Usually I skip extended warranties on everything I buy. I have never had a need to use one and I feel if a manufacturer is willing to give a 5 year warranty it is because they feel most of their time...

Maybe I would consider one for a used Class A, but for a brand new towable RV they are vary rarely worth the expenditure. First thing I told our salesman before we had looked at a single unit is that we were not interested in any extended warranties or other upsells, nearly 10 years later we have never had our TT in for service.
If you are handy with tools most issues are simple to diagnose and repair. Why drag your rig to the dealer and wait weeks to have it repaired, only to find it was done haphazardly. Additionally, doing your own repairs after the warranty will allow you to gain intimate knowledge of how your rig is laid out as it pertains to plumbing and electrical.
That being said, there is nothing wrong with spending your money as you see fit and if the extended warranty appeals to you then go for it. Although both are quite handy, our next door neighbors are hemorrhaging $$$ and readily paid for extended warranties on their rigs, totally unconcerned about their return on their investment. Different strokes for different folks.
