Dealer is offering an extended warranty that covers everything for up to 7 years If you don't make a claim in that time, you get rebated about half the cost. Thinking of getting this for peace of mind. They also offer a "paint sealant" and fabric protection that is about 18 hundred. Wondering if anyone has used the paint sealant(company is called Cal-Tex)....is is worth it. Thinking of passing since I can wash/wax coach as needed.

I have one and love it. I passed on the bunk. It is very livable. Just spent 4 months in it traveling and never felt crowded with two adults and two 20 lb dogs. Love the washer dryer.

That is the exact model we are looking to get into. Its proving a little difficult to find one with the front drop down bunk AND washer/dryer.

What about the Good Sam extended warranty? Has anyone on this forum used it? Is it any good?

On the paint and fabric no.
Warranty there are a few factors. The price is negotiable, it's a large profit center for the dealership. We debated about it, negotiated and negotiated and came up with a reasonable price when we bought our Winnebago. Though generally you're better off if you put that money away, sometimes it's nice to have the coverage and not have to come up with cash if something goes wrong.

In our case the dealer did all the work if we had a claim, and we had 3. Deductible was like $50. First up was the failure of our fridge just a few days before our 10 camping/boating trip. Going without wasn't really an option. Dealer found one, we went and got it to cut down on time and they had us installed and tested within 2 days, fully covered. That one item paid for the extended warranty. Then our converter/charger went belly up, covered and upgraded. We were now money ahead. Door lock had also failed early on.

I wouldn't pay full price but if you can get the cost down considerably then it's a toss up at least from our experience. I could have bought a fridge, but it would have been a stinger in the pocketbook with vacation looming.

as you are buying a 2914 model. Im sure it will have a cloaking device and shoot photon torpedos, so i would worry about spending money on paint protection

Seriously, dont waste your money, as you said you can wash and wax your coach
