The other aspect of warranties: our Class C was 2+ yrs old when the driveshaft carrier bearing went out. The warranty for that ended up being through the company that stretches the chassis - I forget their name now, but they were very nice and willing to arrange things so we could drive to Elkhart (about a 3-hr drive each way), get it fixed, and be back home that night.
But we were simply busy with "life" at that point in time, so opted to pay for the replacement, which cost us $375 locally.
We had not opted for the extended warranty - after digging around, it seemed that there were too many hoops to jump through, lots of exclusions, and of course there was the needed authorization-for-repair request. In checking with random RV repair places, not that many honored the particular warranty company being offered. We declined - and in 10 years of owning the Class C, that $375 repair; plus replacing a side mirror, were our only expenses.
