Extended warranty for older MH

Wondering if there are any warranty companies for RV’s over 15 years old I used to have goodsam but they won’t go over 15 years. I know some will say save your money and put it away but I’m just researching for options thanks.

    Not that I know of. I'm a firm believer in service contracts that cover things between the end of the mfgs warranty and the 10-15 yr lifespan. I've had two that have paid out more than I paid for them. That said, it's buyer beware. You do have to shop carefully. As with any service warranty, be sure it's an exclusionary contract, meaning they specify in writing what is excluded. If it's not listed, it's included in the coverage. That way there's no 'confusion' as to whether your broken part is covered...Wholesale Warranties is one of the best..you might give them a call..Ask for Jeff Shelton....Dennis

    Thanks Executive I did get a quote from wholesale I was listening to a RV podcast and they did a segment on this topic and they also recommended wholesale they even had a rep on to explain their company the quote I got was not bad its something to consider since the old girl is getting older

  • Oh, you can insure anything. It’s just the premium may be 25% more the item’s total value.
  • A bit like getting life insurance for an overweight 70 year old male with high blood pressure, smokes and a family history of diabetes. If you can find it the cost is going to be high and the terms very limiting.
  • If/when you find an extended warranty company that consistently pays out more money than they take in, please post their contact info. I'd like to do business with them too! (before they go out of business)

  • If you find a policy read it carefully for exclusions. Then read it again....more carefully.
  • When I checked Good Sam 5 years ago, they wouldn't insure anything over 10 years old.

  • If you can find a company to issue one, be sure to check all of the MANY items that will not be covered. It may be very expensive and really not cover too much.
