Travel trailer warranty

Hey all, sitting at the dealer now signing papers... They offer extended warranty from AGWS. Should i bother? Any critical things to look at?
  • Waste of money IMO. But I feel that way about most any extended warranty.
    ^What he said above.
    As long as you don’t have 10 thumbs, mush brain and you actually own a set of wrenches and a cordless drill, a lot of “issues” are far easier handled in your driveway than even the effort to deliver and pick up the trailer from the dealer.
  • I wouldn't do it. I suppose if you were not handy at all and had money to blow, then fine. In the end, most people handle small repairs themselves instead of sending their RV to the dealer where they will take sometime weeks/months to complete a repair. Also, consider that most things inside the trailer have their own warranty though the manufacturer, not through the corporation that built the RV. For example, if you have an issue with the brakes, it will be covered by Dexter, not the RV manufacturer. Not sure how a aftermarket warranty will play into that. Just seems like too much trouble, IMO.
