I’m 2-1/2 years into this contract and I’ve had several major repairs covered, including a new hydraulic leveler pump, slide motor replacement, stair motor replacement, water heater repair, and roof a/c replacement. All of these were covered, with a $100 deductible. I have more than gotten my money back on the warranty. I’m usually not the kind of guy who purchases extended warranties, but really glad I have one for my motorhome.

But you should also note that dealership quotes are highly negotiable. CW offered a 7 year plan for nearly $7,000. By selecting options and negotiating I got it down to $3000. I’m still not sure it is worth it but DW was very insistent and, as they say; “happy wife, happy life”. So there it is. I’ve never seen a plan that covers leaks so you’ll be responsible for the roof and wall structure regardless. It doesn’t take many slide, generator or AC repairs to eat up a few thousand dollars. Like most insurance it’s a total and complete waste of money - unless it isn’t. It’s up to you to decide how much risk you want to bear.
