Looking for an Extended Warranty Company

Get to Jeff Shelton at Wholesale Warranties.com...get an exclusionary one...while most people say don't get one and put away for it....my wife insisted on it...kind of glad she did....reasonable and they help you handle anything that might come up..

Take a look at www.rv-dreams.com they did a great piece on extended warranties. They ended up working for one of the companies they researched and have had great service from the company a couple of times.

I run a auto repair shop and although we don't deal with RV warranties, we deal with about every auto warranty company out there. That being said, I've never heard the words "extended warranty company" & "reputable companies" used in the same sentence by anyone who's purchased one. I've heard other words used but none that I'd be able to type here. Most of them find any way they can to get out of paying a claim. Once had a guy who had bought a car with 103 K on it (at the time of purchase). The warranty clearly stated it didn't cover vehicles over 100K. Advised him to get an attorney. Another guy had a hitch installed. You guessed it, warranty was void even though the repair was for the radio. My experience is that anytime we call in a claim, we're ALWAYS in for a fight. They just don't pay out.

Most people even finance the warranty so they're paying interest on the warranty throughout the loans terms. I always think of that as it will be the last part of the loan paid off.

I think most people would be better off keeping their cash. You have to consider how long you're going to keep it and how many miles you're going to put on it.

Most problems with anything pop up during the factory warranty or way down the road past the point where you've traded it off.

Somebody may sing praises for some company somewhere but I don't have any good songs.

It's a good thing you're looking into it.

Thanks..... I had just finished reading that blog earlier this morning and called WholesaleWarranties.com. Unfortunately, they cannot sell policies to anyone
residing in California :(

We have one through Easy Care and we are quite happy with it. Over the last year they have replaced the Transmission Control Module, the waterpump, the refrigerator and the front air conditioner. They require that one of their inspectors see and approve the work before the repair facility performs the repair. This usually takes 24 hours.

Look into Route 66 Classic Coverage, they list what is NOT covered. Had them for our '94 Adventurer and they were great to work with. More than got the cost back on a generator rebuild.

I just called Ford and found out that my drivetrain warranty runs until Oct 2016, and that is what I was most worried about.

I also called Good Sam and found out that I could take out their "Gold" policy for 3 months at a time. Heck, that makes sense as our rig is sitting a home for 3 months at a time, so why pay a premium for non use.

Racorman, why is that (Can't sell in Cali!)?

You may want to check out coach-net.

Coachnet is road side assistance - not a warranty. They are often confused but very different.

To the OP - take the money you were going to spend on your warranty and put it in the bank for emergency repairs. You'll come out ahead and without a hassle.
