Is Warranty Forever a good deal?

I just bought a new jayco jayflight, the dealer explained the forever warranty which has to be done yearly at a cost of 350.00 or more which covers most things as long as I have the yearly inspection done.
Do any of you have this warranty and is it worth the money?
  • I think the OP has confused some things. Warranty Forever requires no annual premium (the dealer includes the one-time cost in the unit). It does, however, require annual maintenance that your dealer may charge $350. However, that maintenance can be done by ANY professional RV shop and rates vary (my dealer wanted $250). It is maintenance that you would (or should) normally have done. As long as you have the annual maintenance/inspection, the warranty is renewed for another year at no additional cost. I bought my unit from a dealer offering Warranty Forever, but I have the annuals done by another shop (who I trust far more than the dealer). In the two years I have had it, I send them my invoice showing the maintenance and inspections done, and they send me a renewal notice. I cannot, however, vouch for their service as I have yet to have a claim. However, read their info and/or go to their website for more info.
  • I think you'd be much better off banking the $350 a year and putting it towards any repair needed.
    My TT is middle of the road quality wise. Had I bought a warranty like that it would have been a complete waste of money.
    I never buy extended warranty's. At this point, even if I have a major repair on anything we have, I am money ahead.
    These warranty company's make a lot of money playing the odds.

    Although a few people come out ahead with an extended warranty, mathematically it is a losing proposition.

    Will the annual cost always be guaranteed at $350 or will it rise? Factor in the cost of the annual inspection and all the nit-pick things they will require you to allow them to fix in order to keep the warranty.

    It sounds like a great deal for the people selling the "warranty forever".


    It's a great profit center.
    Between the yearly costs, the deductible, the exclusions, etc it's hard for them not to make money.

    Just earlier this week I saw (another forum) someone paying $200/year for that....
  • The big question I have is who does the warranty work?
