Extended Warrantee Recommendations?

I'm looking for extended warrantee company recommendations. I have a 2018 Palazzo 37.4 and have had problems with plumbing, slides and electrical since buying it new. I didn't buy an extended warrantee when the factory warrantee expired thinking that we had all the major problems solved after around 2 years of ownership. Now, one of the slide's wonderful Schwintek systems (sarcasm) went bad and the repair is around $2k. Starting to think obtaining an extended warrantee would be a wise decision as it appears the problems will continue. Any recommendations based on personal experience with a good, or bad, extended warrantee companies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, since your extended warranty would have cost you $7k - $12K, it looks like you're still at least $5k ahead of the curve, plus any deductible. Put the ESP money in a separate account and draw on it when needed for repairs.

You're way ahead as said above.
All a warranty is, is a bet.
If you have the cash to fix whatever comes up, don't buy the warranty.

A warranty is a loan to yourself to hedge you not having the lump sum for a repair.

Skip the extended warranty and sell the coach.

Opinions - Everybody Has One!

If you have an extended warranty and you need it you can pat yourself on the back for being smart enough to have it. If you have one and you never need it then you can kick yourself for being a dummy and wasting all that money. Go with whichever of those scenarios you're comfortable with. It's a 100% matter of personal choice.

My service plan was $3,000 at CW. I’m still not a fan but DW insisted. I can see it paying off though it hasn’t been used yet.
