Extended Warranty

[Extended Warranty]

We have an 05 Winnebago and purchased an extended warranty when we bought the coach. We have used it several times and have had no problem with it being honored by the repair shop. Ours is a $50 deductible which sounds great. Our propane tank had a leak where the bracket was welded onto the tank. No problem with the warranty paying for a new tank ($1100), it did not pay for the welding that was needed. It seems that Winnebago has changed the position of the bracket on the coach so the new tanks do not fit our coach. Had to relocate the bracket on our coach. Ended up costing us about $500 not $50. Ours does not pay shipping or redesign issues. Read your policy so you know going in what you are getting.

Thanks Dave, I should have mentioned that our coach is a Monaco. We're really glad we didn't purchase an extended warranty from them! We were talking to people next to us in an RV park that had AAA and I guess there are others that sell extended warranties also. I found a web site called complaintsboard.com; however, you only see the bad experiences. It's good to hear that some actually pay something, if not the total bill.

We purchased a Motorhome in 2008. We're wanting to purchase an extended warrany. Would be interested in hearing about experiences of others -- good and bad. Is an extended warranty necessary and which company do you recommend?
