Extended warranty

I feel that these warranties are for the gambler type of individuals and not the other way around.
You're betting that your coach will break down and they're betting that it won't.
Well, that and what they can worm their way out of, which is always the case.
Have you ever been to Vegas and for seeing what has been built there, with money that was bet against the house?
I'd rather make my premium payments to my own bank account and so far I'm thousands above and beyond vehicle warranty costs.
However if you must, then probably wholesalewarranties.com which has already been suggested.

Wholesale Warranty’s quote was $7800 for my 2016 Ventana. The dealer’s quote was $9800. Both looked like fairly reliable policies but I passed on both. Granted an engine or transmission would cost more, but proper maintenance should prevent failures. That’s why we buy rigs with proven drive trains. I might call my State Farm agent (coach insurance) and see what they have to offer for catastrophic failures. The rest I can handle myself.

I have never been a fan of extended warranties on RV's. I think that, in most cases, you will be better off to take that same amount of money and put it into a special bank account to be used only for repairs. JMHO

Agreed. Tried a few times with no success. Are we missing something?

Note that I put "service contract" in quotes. This will then search for that exact phrase. You shouldn't get "service" and "contract" search returns.

I would also look for "extended warranty" as that is a popular misword on same topic.

You only have to read about 10 posts and will get the full understanding of the two sided topic.

I would suggest a Sticky be developed for people to research and find 95% of all the answers regarding ESC, however, there is one for Tire Pressures and it is still one of the most restated topics on the forum. People would rather their question be answered personally by others even though some of the comments are less than factual.

Half the battle is finding the correct information in the litany of unfounded opinions on a forum. Even harder when the same topic is asked every other day.
