Extended warranty

Is an extended warranty worth it?? 2007 Allegro Bus Good Sam is about $3K per year ; Easy Care is about $4500 for $ years . Both cover about the same items.
Thanks

EW's are like any insurance coverage only worth it when you have a claim that is covered ! IMHO the Good Sam @ $3K yearly is too expensive and the other MIGHT bo ok but your years is a typo.

We do have an EW ( Cornerstone ) and we have had several large claims, fridge replaced, inverter, roof AC , patio awning and several smaller items so we are way ahead of our initial premium but are probably in the minority in that area. The one big plus of having a good EW is the peace of mind on major repair bills.

Try www. WHOLESALE WARRANTIES . Com for other plans/premiums. Good Luck with your decision.

Take the $4,500 and put it in a separate account and self insure yourself.

My Good Sam Esp has pretty much paid for itself since the purchase in 2012. A new turbo got me ahead in year 1. A new Splendide 2100XC last week evened me up.

Renewal is this month and it's a done deal. I actually hope I never need the $20k for an engine overhaul like one member just went through. Always the self insurer, he didn't get the paper work in time for a ESP. Bet he wishes he had, but I haven't heard him say so exactly.

It's a personal decision. Do what you're comfortable with - but realize there a some big ticket items that can add up. Saving $4 grand a year for failures - if you can do that might work out - our it could leave you $16 grand short.
