Floridastorm, to answer your question...no, I only had the three tire calls to them.
If you ever need specific info on a topic, you have the option to use your search bar rather than rvnet search,
Type in 'rv.net, coach-net reimbursement' or whatever question you have on a topic.
typing 'rv.net' before your question will give you many rvnet posts on a specific topic.
this is an older rvnet link regarding CN, just as an example of doing the above search.

Cruise America special orders their units from Thor, and when they sell them, they are branded as "Majestic". These do not have slide-outs or awnings. I have no idea if the bodies have any structural changes, other than they all have an excellent length-to-wheelbase ratio.

Does anyone know what make and models are used in these rental fleets? If known one could look for those models elsewhere also. I always thought it was their maintenance level that made these used units more reliable but it makes sense that if you start with a simpler more robust unit you have a better chance of getting a good used unit after several years and you should not need an extended warranty.

They are service contracts which have very specific wording that an atty would be able to pick apart and explain to you better than I can. They are written with lots of wiggle room and allow the contractor to be the winner.
IF I ever went completely crazy and decided to purchase an extended contract I would never buy a service contract from a third party. It would have to be from Ford , GM or whoever manufactured the vehicle but then again, the wording is written in gray ink, blurred gray ink . Like you can't tell if its an eighth note or a sixteenth note. :B
I am now convinced that Service Contracts are not the way to go. However, a good comprehensive Roadside Assistance Plan is a necessary evil when being on the road IMO.
Absolutely. It costs money to do it, the road service comes out ahead. But I did it because I tow snowmobile trailers so I don't have to crawl around changing tires in sub-zero F temps.
I use Coach-Net. They have been great and quick the 3x I have used it. Any vehicle that I drive or are a passenger in is covered. My package includes anything I tow. You can use unlimited times during the contract period and they responded to remote areas where my previous company would not.

I'm pretty sure they'll find a reason to blame it on you, so you'll be buying one anyways.

I find that the El Monte refurbished rentals are approximately $10,000 more expensive for the same class, size, and year.
I find that a bit of a stretch.The ones at Cruise America in your area run about $35000 to $37000 for the same class and size but are 2016 year model,as all their RVs are on a 4 year turnover model,
Where the same size and class and interior design at El Monte RV is $39989,but is a 2018. 2 years newer and most likely with less mileage. El Monte RV is on a 2 year or less turnover model.
On another note I found THIS POST on how El Monte RV responded to their 1Year/12000 mile warranty and filled the tank with gas!
