I don't even want to think about putting snow chains on an RV.)
I digress. Anyway, as I am sure you are all aware, there are service plans for tires, as well as the entire coach and the engine. I know I don't need to make a decision right away (after all it comes with a warranty), but what I feel strongly about is that anything the dealer offers me will be over priced. I have read blog after blog re: which company is best; should you buy it; what the difference is between service VS warranty. (Not sure if you allow company names to be discussed on the forum.)
Can I be so bold as to ask how the reliability has been on the Thor Axis products/Ford engine (E-450)?

My personal opinion is that purchasing a service contract for a new motor home is a waste of money. My recommendation would be to take the cost of the service plan, invest it, and pay your own repairs if you ever have any. Unless you just have miserable luck, you will come out well ahead in the long run.
