oldgrape Report post Posted August 9, 2018 Howdy all. I have read several threads but am still conflicted. My current extended warranty is expiring. I looked into replacing it and the cost is now $12K for 3 yrs/30K miles. That is about triple what I paid 4 yrs ago when I bout the coach. I have used the policy over the last 4 years but probably did not break even between original cost and what my share of the bills added up to. The coach has 62,300 miles on her. I will be retiring in the next 2 yrs and will hit the road full time. I know if one of the major systems dies like engine, transmission, AC, or Jacks the cost could be pretty high for repairs. With that said I feel the odds for that are not that great. I could be wrong though. Please provide what you all think or have done. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaypsmith Report post Posted August 10, 2018 If you put $12K in savings at 2.75 interest rate, in three years, and you have no major catastrophe you will have $13075.00 ready for the next three. I'm with five on this one, but it is not my money. Good luck with your decision whatever it may be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 As maney on here I am not a fan of extended warranties. If you do your maintenance I think you will be ok. Put the money in a savings account and you should be way ahead in 3 years. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious where you read that ESP's don't cover full timers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Jim, some do, some don't...GS does! $12K/3 years = Highway Robbery! Maybe for a Prevost or Newell, but I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Sorry folks but I have just the opposite opinion. I have GS ESP and with my previous 2008 MH, which my DW affectionately (NOT) called "Citrus" just to be PC, and over the 10 years we had it I was very happy to have the ESP. I don't plan on dying anytime soon but I have insurance that I have been paying on for to many years. Yep, ESP is expensive but it is just an insurance plan. My ESP covers seals and gaskets so yes the price is up there. But I do have peace of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
