Dealership Extras - Did you purchase?
Hey, we are working on the paperwork for our GD TT and some things were brought up as extra to purchase.
Obviously an additional warranty has been brought up, 3 years (total of 4 counting the 1st year that is included) can go up to 7 years. Was it worth it to you? Did you wish you had?
Gap insurance - we won't be upside down so don't think we need it.
Tracking device should it get stolen - I think this is more for the bank incase we default, call me skeptical. My insurance company also won't give a discount for having it unless it shows up when they check the VIN.
Undercoating the metal - we don't salt the roads here and are unlikely to camp in weather where it's used. It includes other things like fixing small blemishes on the exterior / interior - not worried about that though.
I'm leaning towards a no on all of them.
With my truck I can get an extended warranty elsewhere for cheaper, wasn't sure if it was the same on TT.
Any input would be appreciated.

Definitely no to everything.
Depending on how you will use your trailer, go for 2 6v batts in place of one wimpy 12v.
I had the dealer do that prior to pdi.
Good Luck!2019 GMC 3500 SRW Sierra Denali Duramax

The advantage of the two 6s is because the 6v batts only have 3 cells vs 6 on the 12's, the plates are much thicker. Much more durable, can stand up to deeper discharges (not that it's ok).
Some people are ok with 2 12's (my brother has 2 12's). Lots of newer battery tech out there, but this is a good compromise until you really figure out how you will use your rig.2019 GMC 3500 SRW Sierra Denali Duramax

I'd like to know more about your 6V Batteries, did you go with standard car type and what brand did you go with? On our last camper I used two 6V golf cart batteries from Batteries Plus and they held up ok for 5 years. Connected a single panel solar package from Renogy which did a good job keeping them charged, but this new camper has a lot more things that draw off the battery than the previous one.
