My advice is PASS!
You can purchase extended warranty at any time. If after the initial warranty has expired if you have think you still want or need it buy it then, possibly cheaper as the dealers commission won't be included.
The chassis of your motorhome should be warrantied just as any vehicle you've owned by the manufacturer, be it Ford, Freightliner or whomever, you don't need or want to take your chassis to your rv dealer for work, take it to a dealer selling that chassis brand. Also the appliances & other equipment onboard are warrantied through each of their manufacturers usually for longer periods of time than the rv is through Thor.
If you get out your magnifying glass & read the extended warranty you'll likely find that the list of "exclusions" is longer than what it may cover, along with a statement that it "must be inspected annually by an authorized agent" which means you're going to pay your dealer to walk around it couple times while talking on the phone, charge you their hourly rate for doing so, then say your roof needs recaulking (which should be done 2-3 times a year) and that cost another several hours + material that won't be covered by the warranty as it's "required maintenance" & all of this you could/should do yourself, yes including the roof if your physically able to climb up there, all for about $20-30 & a hour of your time.
If you're somewhat handy, have tools & know how to use them, & not afraid to try fix something you'll be far ahead to fix what you can rather than let your rv sit at the dealership for months waiting it's turn in line for a repair that you may be able to take of for a couple $ & a few minutes, even during break the initial warranty period.
Just my .02 cents!
