When I received my quote from them it was about $700 less than Good Sam but had a $500 deductible, my Good Sam policy is 0 deductible at Camping World and $50 deductible elsewhere-but my policy from GS is with a MH purchase at CW only, were it not for that I would have went with wholesalewarrantees.com

Hey TedGard01 what year make an model MH are you looking at?? That does make a difference in how much they charge. I bought an 2003 Itasca Suncruiser with 53K on it and it cost me about $1800 yr. I now have a 2014 Sunstar and it cost about $400 a year for the first 5years.
Now on the 2003 I paid extra for the coverage of the Engine due to mileage and I also paid for the tire warranty. The 2014 automatically covers the engine and I paid extra for the tires. I plan on taking some long highway trips and don't feel like paying the $600 + for a tire if onw goes.

In other words, if it's new the price is cheaper, if it has a lot of miles, non diesel then it cost a lot more.

I have their best plan on a Class a Gas MH and i'm still on the fence as to how well it works. So far, every time we have taken it in for an issue the plan hasn't covered squat. And of course their response is always, it wasn't broke or it worked good for us. I "Will" keep you posted on this topic as i'm taking it in Monday (Holiday no less) to get it inspected for my new tag renewal and there is a ABS lite on and has been on since day one. Something will have to done with it and we have it documented about said lite so they can't cover it up. Bottom Line, it has to broke. and/or don't work any more be fore they replace it! Have a Great Day Y'all.

Cw extended warranty

I also have camping world extended warranty now for three years, and they have been excellent as for service. I had three injectors replaced, and a inverter, with 500$ deductible they have been a blessing.

Heres an up-date on what was posted a day or two ago wanting to know about their extended service plan. For the very first time it came to work somewhat in my favor today. Bottom line, it has to be broke in order for them to cover the repair. But , if its a normal service item, belts, hoses, oil, light bulbs ect, forget it. My case tag lights were out and it was broken wiring. It cover the repairs as to the labor, but not the bulbs themselves. I hope this finds the right guy and is of some help. Please feel free to ask any questions about the service agreement or their service in general. My deductable has always been $50. as long as i bring it back to them for work. Otherwise it's $100.00 if i were to take it anywhere else.

Just received a phone call from Camping World service desk. Good Sam service contract company approved all our MH repairs. We retrieve it Monday, our cost $0 deductible, total bill to service contract company $3,786. The two outside, remote,heated, rear-view mirrors were $1,300 ea. We are 7 months into the 3-year contract, which(I think) cost $4,800.

Good Sam ESP - Don't waste your money

I have always been skeptical of extended warranties because, routinely, when it comes time to pay, they find weasel words to avoid paying the claim. The description of the Good Sam ESP on their web site was plainly worded and it convinced me to violate my skepticism. I agreed to pay over $1,000/yr for the peace of mind offered by the Good Sam ESP against unforeseen repairs even though my coach is in very good condition. I have never been motivated enough to take the time to write a post on one of these forums, but in this instance, I am very motivated to save someone else much time and hassle.

Heres how it went:
I came back to my coach one evening to find a puddle of dripping sewage on the ground. Mine was suddenly the stinky RV in the park. Opening the basement door in front of the holding tank clearly revealed that my tank had buckled under its own weight causing it to collapse onto a sharp corner of the angle iron that was supporting the tank causing a hole from which sewage was leaking. Whew, I thought, that's going to be expensive to fix. Thank goodness I have the Good Sam ESP. I called customer service and was told that all I had to do was to take the coach to a repair shop for diagnosis and authorization. I did, and shortly after that, I was told by the shop, with no attempt by Good Sam to contact me, that my claim was denied. I called Good Sam and was referred to the Claims department. The policy clearly states the coverage as "Wastewater Systems: ..., Holding Tanks, ..." No weasel words. Very clear. Very reassuring. The claims department informed me that it appeared from the pictures that the tank buckled due to "inadequate support", and the puncture in the tank was from an "outside source". I explained that the tank was installed by the manufacturer when the coach was constructed according to the standards by which RVs are constructed over which, I had no control and I would think that failures within the spectrum of common common RV construction standards would be built into the premium. They said that holding tanks are commonly installed with "inadequate support" and this was a frequent reason for claim denial. I was further told that the bracket that supported the tank was the "outside source". I explained that common English would have me understand an "outside source" to be something "outside" the RV such as damage from a collision, or a tree falling on the coach, etc. Not so by their definition. After spending a week trying to get a return phone call or return email from the claims rep assigned to my case, I called and started from the beginning with a new rep. He gave me the same reasoning and said that once Claims makes a decision, they don't change their minds. I explained to him the peace of mind against costly repairs that was sold to me by the plain language of the policy both on the website and in the actual written policy without technical loopholes. He told me that was a "common misconception" about the ESP policy and said there were many things that aren't covered. I asked him if he understood that my "misconception" was acquired through the language that Good Sam used to sell the policy. He asked me if I understood that Good Sam was a different company. Huh?! I said. He explained that Good Sam simply sells the policy, but claims are subcontracted out to an insurance company. He said that he has no control over the language used by Good Sam to sell the policy. I asked him if he understood that despite that internal organization of the company, I am a customer of Good Sam both when the policy was sold and when it is serviced despite where my call is transferred when I have a problem. He coldly reiterated that they are two separate companies and it was unreasonable of me to expect his company to honor the language that was used to sell me the $1,100 policy. Wow! Strange universe! I thought I could get satisfaction by calling Good Sam and reporting the situation and the customer service that I was receiving from their contractor. The Customer Service rep told me the best he could do was to transfer me back to the Claims department. I asked what the refund policy was and I was told my only option was a prorated refund of unused months and a $50 cancellation charge. So I've been paying for this policy for months, they refuse to honor a pretty straight forward claim, and if I wish to cancel, they will charge me for the privilege. If you have made it to the end of this post, I hope my comments will save you the hassle and expense that I have endured in what I believe was a complete waste of my very hard earned money on what is a very typical extended warranty.

I was going to suggest that you post this to the Good Sam Extended Service Plan section over on RV.net, but I see you have already done that and have received a response from Marcus' Rapid Response Team.

Here's hoping they can get this issue resolved to your satisfaction.

My claim denial was for a different part, but it was also the reasoning for that denial that made me go ballistic. I won't go into details, but they we're definately misrepresenting what they covered, and suffice it to say I'm no longer a GS policy holder. I cancelled and went with www.wholesalewarranties.com and have had no problems what so ever with their claims dept.

Interesting story. I just signed up with Good Sam, but I did so on the guarantee that I can cancel within 30 days... money-back. After reading your post I am getting second thoughts.

These companies who pull this crap are so ignorant. All they had to do was pay the claim and keep the customer happy. A holding tank is cheap. I have replaced them on boats before. You can order on the internet for $1-200, labor may be, what double that amount? So for a few hundred dollars (their cost of repair minus your deductible), it will cost them maybe $20,000 in sales. Idiots.

Were I you, I'd file suit against them in small claims court. I'm pretty sure a judge would agree with your argument vs theirs. You should also sue the individuals who are denying your claim pretty much out of spite, or so it seems.

I'm going to rethink whether I should keep this policy. I hate when companies play these childish games.

Cptgregger...Wow....Thx for your input...I too am rethinking keeping GS extended care policy enforced... Calling WW to check on a plan since many have had better encounters/repairs... I have no problem dropping/CANX GS if other RVers are being kicked to the curd during their claim repair process...
