- HalmfamilyExplorerNone. Save your money and self insure, you'll more than likely be way ahead in the end.
- midnightsadieExplorer IIX2 there waste of your money but a great big pay day for the dealer. start your own.
- gboppExplorerSearch the forum for Extended Warranty.
- MFLNomad IIGet what you can, when needed from factory warranty! Just forget about extended warranty and repair what you can yourself. Hire a good mobile tech when you can't do the repair.
Jerry - FLY_4_FUNExplorerI have to agree, the extended warranty on a large rv can run $1500-$2500 or more. That money in a lousy bank account should cover off all but the worst repairs down the road. Does Forest River still have the 2nd year warranty available for like $275?....heard that was a thing.
Daryll - ScottGNomadAnother vote for skipping it. The things that will be a problem will happen in the first year. After that, pretty much anything can be fixed for a lot less than what that useless warranty costs.
Extended warranties in this business rarely pay anyway. - BumpyroadExplorer

you are assuming that the OP has that $2000? laying around to deposit. I would guess that it would be tacked onto the sales price and increase the payment $10 or so???????????? If he does have the extra cash, perhaps it would be smarter to pay more down which might reduce the payments enough to almost cover the warranty addition.
and if you put that extra 10 a month into a special account at the end of two years you will have amassed a grand total of $240 if something goes wrong.
bumpy - pennysmom09ExplorerExtended warranties put money in the pocket of the dealers, nothing more. There are more exclusions than items covered. Save your money! Any major repairs needed will show up early while still covered by the original warranty. Trust me, I know!
- southernskyExplorerWe have Wholesale Warranties for our extended warranty. Yes you can put money aside to cover repairs but who really does that. We have a 7yr. coverage. Our trailer is a little over two yrs old and made two claims worth $1800. The last just this week while on the road for $1200. Without the extended warranty that would almost ended this coast to coast trip. JMHO
- HalmfamilyExplorerRemember these warranties are profit mongers for dealers. Our first FW we purchased the 7 year warranty, refunded it a year later, and the dealer quoted $2300. After a lot of back and forth we paid $1400 and I know the dealer still made a good profit. Moral of story is negotiate the price way down.
