Extended Service plan question

[Matdetroit]

I decided not to get ESP when I purchased my TT 2 months ago. The only option was coach net. I recently received a really good quote from Good Sam ESP. Around $300 a year for 6 years[$2200 total] with $200 deductible

My question is, how many repairs have you had done at a dealer or yourself where you had to buy expensive parts in 6 years? As per my math, assuming ESP will only cover 50% of the total cost I will have to have atleast 10 repairs done at a rate of $600 per repair in 6 years for it to be profitable. I did not consider the peace of mind and things like that. Is it normal to spend $1000 a year in repairs that are not due to a mishap or maintenance?

I bought a 2017 Solitude 375RES in April (sold to us as 2018). I bought a 6 year transferrable($50 transfer fee) EW. $100 deductible. I paid $3400.

I have had to replace the living area AC and the Microwave/Conv Oven. You're talking over $2300 in costs. I've paid $280 out of pocket. Tell me why you wouldn't buy an EW.

That was my post right after the purchase. At the time I was dealing with Coachnet with I think 4 years for almost $3800. This new quote changed my mind a little bit.

We bought a Route 66 policy right before our first year was up and paid $2200. We’ve used it for axle repairs and the like. They are good for AC, frig, and other such unknowns. We’ve got back about 2/3rds the cost in 5 years, but I do most all of my repairs. Most Family Motor Coach use Wholesale Warranties https://wholesalewarranties.com/.

First of all, Good Sam has a pretty bad reputation over time on a number of forums.

We purchased an ESP (Route 66, $100 deductible) with the trailer and have used it once. That was to replace the cooling unit on the Norcold 1210 frig - a $1,400 job on a $2,000+ policy in a little over four years. Like most insurance, the company is betting that you'll cost them less in claims than you pay them in premiums. I'm undecided at this point on whether or not to get a plan with the new Solitude in March (wife wants to).

This was within 2 years? Is this Good sam? The quote I have is not an extended warranty. They say it is Extended service plan. It is more like an insurance regulated by insurance laws. The majority of the reviews say, they try their best to not cover anything.

If you use the "Reply With Quote" rather than just "Reply," we'll know of whom you are asking the question.

In the industry, there is no such thing as an extended warranty - they are all insurance plans from third parties.

Ok that makes sense. So everything is regulated by the same rules.
Coach net
Good Sam
Route 66
Wholesale warranties
So Its all about the total cost and number of years if the coverage is the same. Which comes back to, it is profitable if its around $1000 a year in warranty repairs.
