Good afternoon.
Really sorry to bother you guys. Picking up my rpod 189 and my dealer is pushing a extended warranty through preserve 4 years 1200 dollars. Please give me your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I'm not a handy man, so I'm kinda freaking out, but I thought a lot of work could be done for 1200 dollars.

I would consider, if your dealer is close and easy to work with, make sure you get details of the warranty, coverage and such. Doesn't take much to get to 1200. When I bought mine I got no warranty and have easily repaired 1200 dollars worth. Again I would consider.

Mike
Thank you for responding. I'm buying it from Jeff Couch RV. Don't really know much about him. They have really good prices. I bought the 10th anniversary 2019 for 16100 before tax. Again thank you.

I know. This is my first rv. Just retired from military after 37 years and I just want to see this beautiful country we have here. Just really ignorant when it comes to mechanical things

Have never bought a warranty for anything I have purchased and have never regretted that decision. Included in that was no warranty for our 177, no issues of any significance and it is now 8 years old. As above posters have stated, it is a money maker for the salesperson and for FR.
