Here is my extended warranty short conversation with dealer this week. Background, ordered a new 310GK late October 2021, it was built end of Feb 2022. That was within the timeline of backlog when we placed the deposit & firmed up the agreement.
Delivery date is set for next week May 4, 2022, that is the earliest date the dealer could do. I've no issue with any of this as our weather & season is just beginning.
When I was presented with the extended wtty option, I explained to the individual that it is not warranty it is an insurance policy. No different than life insurance, no reply by the presenter.
Then I asked, how will this work when I have problems? It has taken you 2 months to get the RV from Grand Design & prep it for delivery? It has taken 7 months for you to complete sale & it is still not finalized.
How long will it take you to repair it? No reply or further discussion of Ext. wtty.

I have extended warranties on all of my appliances and high dollar items. To register for these it's either free or very reasonable cost. For example, Dometic charged me only $180 for an additional 3 years (through Nov, 2025). If it fails after that I will install a 12V compressor fridge.

Jim,
I’ve been with State Farm for over 50 years. Every few years I price other companies, USAA, AARP, Geico,
Allstate etc. no one comes anywhere near cost wise. We have 2 cars, 1 truck, 1RV, 1 UTV, Umbrella policy all with SF.
18 months ago we had a hit and run accident where an uninsured driver ran a red light and T-boned our car. She was arrested 5 miles away when 2 good samaritans followed her and boxed her in until police arrived to arrest her.
My wife and I were transported to hospital via ambulance and our 1 year old car was totaled. SF paid us enough to buy a brand new identical replacement and put a few thousand dollars in our pocket. They paid all medical bills without question. They even paid us for “pain and suffering”. They eventually were able to recover our deductible from the uninsured driver and sent us a check for it. All this with no increase in premium.
The only other company I would consider is USAA. With all the discounts SF applies after being with them for over 10 years no one can compete with SF premiums.
In the past we had a decreasing term life policy that covered our mortgage just in case. Also had a nurses liability policy with them when my wife was doing some home health visits.
We’ve been with our current SF agent for 40 years when he first started and took over from former agent who retired. The personal touch and personal relationship can’t be beat. I would miss that with USAA.Jerry & Linda

USAA can be beat, no nearly as good as they used to be for insurance. Once they opened up to. The masses their customer service went down and the rates are easily beatable. I bailed on them about 6 years ago on insurance. Banking is still good.

On our SF policies, we had 2 homes, 2 boats, 5 cars with accident free, and USAA beat them and everyone else. Now, not saying it could possibly be the agent? Cause Agents do play a big factor in how your policies are underwritten as was the case on my kit car. But, I know that SF was better than other non-USAA InsCos just not USAA itself. And, alot of InsCos get you on and then hike the rates in the years following. That did not happen with USAA.
I think your relationship with your agent, payout experience, and term of SF insured policies helps. Probably why I got the deal on my car that I did.
I also worked for InsCos during my IT career in Claims vs Premiums processing and know that they target certain folks for rate hikes, not always based on experience of the insured, zip code, or area they live.Jim and Annette

I just did an online quote with USAA just for my 2 cars and 1 truck. They were $111 higher monthly vs my State Farm policies. $288 vs $177 for the 3 coverages. SF is $244 monthly with additional $38 umbrella, $7 UTV, and $25 RV policies.
I think the low premium with SF is due to continued coverage for over 40 years.
Getting a USAA quote was easy to do since they automatically populated all my Stare Farm policies.Jerry & Linda

As others have said - most extended warranties aren't worth it in the end. At the very least... ride out your factory warranty and make a decision near the end of that. If you are having ongoing issues with the unit, then might be worth it. And if you take the plunge... read the long list of fine print and nearly all of them require advance approval. I did it on my first Reflection as I had some issues with the slides covered under warranty and my dealer sold out to CW so didn't have a good option for future work if needed. I went with XtraRide and in the end I lucked out and it did pay off for me as they covered the replacement of the spring hangers (I broke 1 and another was nearly broke through). They paid for much better engineered solution from a local RV repair shop.
So far I am going to pass on any extended warranty for our 2022 351M-R (delivered last Aug) and pocket the money. While I have fixed/repaired/replaced a few things I consider minor, there hasn't been anything that I felt a need to go to the dealer for warranty (yet).2022 Momentum 351M-R

Agree on USAA
I also was a 10+ year USAA insurance member who left after the homeowners premiums kept going up. I noticed this when I was moved from Arkansas to Texas. Since I bundle 2-3 autos, RV, and home, I was able to save substantially by moving to Allstate. Although the auto policy rates were similar, USAA was almost double on my homeowners policy. Maybe it has to do with all of the payouts they have to make for all of military members living near the East coast and Gulf getting wiped out by hurricanes on a regular basis. Unsure. I do still use their banking services.
