Tupelo Kid - here is from some experience. With our first new RV, we were ready to jump in on the warranty. After having the coach for about 6 months, had a fender bender and decided to upgrade versus repair. Got a good deal and went with our current coach. We had enough ownership time that we thought we'd self insure vs buy an extended warranty with the exception of tires. Thor was great in the first 12 months, Ford chassis warranty is 36/36 and I am pretty handy.

In my research in making the decision, I read A LOT. I almost made the jump with one of Wholesale Warranty. What I liked best was unless the part was specifically listed as NOT be covered, it was covered. When you look at the things that can go wrong now with the coach, most are seals and fair wear/tear items. These are not generally covered by any warranty.

So good decision to self insure - at least so far.

Relative to tires - we might have gotten the last good deal. We got a Wholesale Warranty for 7 years and $455. This last summer we had a rear tire punctured by a nail close to the sidewall. Turned it in and followed the procedure - the insurance paid the $555 replacement cost.

Just some words for thought.
