Is extended dealership warranty worth it?

I usually skip the warrantees. I just got a little nervous with a camper because I read so many lemon stories. However most of them happened in the first year or two. A few things I was planning on buying was

1. Surge Protector
2. A cover for the winters

I bet those two don't cost $2500 put together.

Anything else you guys recommend?

Forget about feeling nervous. Get over that real quick if you plan to be an RV type of person. You can't worry about this stuff. :) Your warranty will cover you thru the beginning, by then you'll know to keep it or trade it. It is what it is , welcome to the RV world.

I will start to answer your equipment questions but i think your questions will get lost in this thread. To acquire the best info., i would start a new thread on the topics , that will give you more specific responses. So far, your thinking like a pro. :)

Using a SP is a good thing. You have options regarding this. Portable vs hardwired vs interior mounting of a portable unit (using addition plug in cords) for theft protection.
There are threads and pics of various installs. I get better results NOT using the RVnet search bar . Just do a google search , type in 'RVnet, surge protection' . RVnet posts on the subject will show.

Low voltage in some older CG's can also be an issue. Some people also use a voltage booster , a Hughes Autoformer in conjunction with my SP. Low voltage as well can also damage circuit boards and digital technology etc .

Covers: depends on the individual, some people don't like them for many reasons and others always cover it . Some have to alter the sharp edges of their RV so the cover does not rip through in the wind.
Installing one properly, that fits your RV would be a smart place to start , so its snug without waving hello and good-bye to everyone who passes . That only attracts campers who want to eat your food and drink all your beer.
