What I've found with my last three trailers is they never really build'em like they used to. With our first trailer, we replaced both bunk ends (it was a hybrid) and a water heater in the 3rd year - total cost $2000 (lots of labor cost). In this case a warranty would have saved me money. The 2nd trailer had only decals pealing after 3 years and a water heater controller in 5 years. Had we bought a warranty, we'd have lost money. Our current has to have a thermostat, new water heater, and faulty wiring for one slide replaced during the first year. You bet you bottom, I'm buying a warranty. Each unit is different - you need to assess this with how savvy you are to make your own repairs. For me, I don't have the time or knowledge to make major repairs and know first hand that $100-$200/hr labor rates are the killer for any dealer service call.
