BUY AN EXT. WARRANTY??

Not applicable
Just bought 2014 Winn. sightseer, LeMesa wants 7k for a 7yr. warranty, seems to cover a lot., but is this really necessary for NEW Bago? We are 1 yr in as RV'ers. Seems I could take that 7k and keep it for future issues.
Any other warranty services out there that are good, reliable and reasonable??

I would put that 7k in the bank and use it if you need it.

I am on my 3rd used unit in 8 years, and these were 10 year old units when purchased and I have not spent anywhere near 7k on all 3 in REPAIRS. I clarify "repairs" because I have spent lots of cash on tires, some maintenance and upgrades.

Just my opinion....

Don't be fooled, that 7 year is actually a 6 year if you typically get a factory 1 year anyway since they run concurrent. And, I'm sure others will chime in on their experiences. For me, I'd rather keep the money in my bank until a repair is needed. Good luck

Those warranties are a money maker for them. They rarely cover what actually goes wrong and it's extremely unlikely you would see the benefit over saving the money and paying for the odd item yourself. Also, you can dicker with them over the price. The dealership will make thousands off a sale like that so if you go ahead with it, tell them you give them more like $3 or $4k.
I would just save the money if it were me.

Nope, Hold on to it and use it as needed.
