For what it's worth, I bought a camper that the MFG has gone out of business, so no factory warranty. The dealer sells every unit with a "warranty forever", and though I didn't want it (was included at no cost to me) he said he'd included it and I could let it lapse at the 1 year mark by not doing the maintenance work.
At 4 months of ownership, the 15K Dometic A/C stopped cooling, and was seeing only a 4 degree delta across the coils.
I called a local mobile RV repair company, and to my surprise the warranty forever people covered the cost of the entire repair and labor, minus the trip charge. Total covered repair was 1,100 bucks or so and the trip charge x2 was 150. Well worth the $150 for me to not have to take the time to hitch up, drag the camper to repair and back again.
I will say I do not believe in extended warranties in 98% of cases, and still wouldn't have paid much for this one, but I will say I'm pleased in this case it worked out.
If I'd had no extended warranty, I would have bought the unit online and installed myself.

When I bought my truck, the person at the dealership who "handles" the paperwork gave me a really hard sell to get me to buy the Ford extended warranty. I NEVER buy these things, but she offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. I won't go into the details, but I bought it. Cost me about $1700.
Then I started reading the fine print. The thing that got me the most was when i read that any parts that were damaged as a result of a failure of a covered part were not covered. There were other issues as well, including the fact that I misunderstood the total # of miles covered (as a result of misrepresentation, I maintain). Long story short, I was able to cancel the sale that day and get a refund. At least the dealership was kind enough to me to let me do that.
But the thing about damage to non-covered parts that happens as a result of failure of covered parts seemed to me to be an awfully big exclusion.
Lesson learned. No more extended warranties for me.

Take what ever the cost quoted for the extended warranty and open an interest bearing account at a credit union. Only draw out the money for repairs. Your account will never deny a repair unlike the extended warranty. At the end of what would have been the extended warranty period you will most probably have money left in the account.

What is the company for the extended warranty. Just bought a new Grand Design Reflection and dealer gave a low pressure pitch. DW thinks it might be a good idea but nearly $3400 for 7 years and I have only the pamphlet. I really want to see the policy of all the fine print for this much money.

The real question is, how much did the original owner pay for that warranty?
The original owner couldn't remember how much he paid for the contract. He said it was in thousands of $ and the deductible was either $50 or $100. And he didn't have the original contract either. All he did was signed over a transfer form and it's up to me to spent the transfer fee.
I contacted the insurer and found out it was called Trailer Ultimate (highest level of coverage) Plan and the deductible was only $50. I signed on because it's only a small gamble like buying a lottery. LOL.

Not sure if I can name names in the forum without getting this thread shut down.
