RV Motor Home Warranty

Decision to buy an extra warranty for expensive RV motor homes should be seriously considered especially by “so-far” happy owners (nothing lasts forever)..

Purchasing expensive items such as an RV motor home is extremely big investment and very often it can be very difficult to decide whether purchasing a warranty is smart decision.

When buying used or pre-owned RV warranty protection may be essential for maintaining the RV.

Buying a warranty may be economical choice and can save you from spending a great amount of money for repairs, spare parts, and labor.

Why an extra warranty?

There are various types of warranties that can be bought, which will cover chassis and components of your recreational vehicle. Also there are different levels of pricing for buying a warranty depending on the cost and parameters for different types of recreational vehicles.

For example, the price of warranty for diesel pusher is not same as the warranty price for a travel trailer or fifth wheels.

When a potential buyer decide which type of motor home to buy, than a warranty price may be calculated. These calculations are based on type of desired recreational vehicle, its size, type of trailer, length of coverage, whether it is new or used, gas or diesel.

Moreover, each manufacturer of recreational vehicles has warranties for their vehicles, which also differ according to the type of the specific motor home. Most fifth wheels, travel trailers and other campers have a one-year manufacturer's warranty. So if you decide to buy a new motor home you will get the manufacturer's warranty but if you choose not to buy an extended warranty you may be faced with some unexpected and unwanted costs. In such cases, extended warranties can be very beneficial.

Some people think that extended warranties are just another way of taking money from the customers. On the other hand, others think that an extended warranty is essential because it will make your life easier and spare you from spending additional sum of money on some potential repairs that may unexpectedly occur.
Although when you purchase an extended warranty it may happen that you never will be in a situation to use it. Or, for example if you use your motor home for long trips and you find yourself far away from home, your extended warranty may be useless when your recreational vehicle breaks down.

However if you choose to purchase a used recreational vehicle buying an extended warranty may be a wise choice.
