Thanks for the info on the extended warranty.   We purchased 4 new appliances when we bought our house almost 4 years ago and bought the extended warranties.   We have used it once which paid for itself with piece of mind.  I have no idea what the actual repair would have cost but I do know that knowing we had the warranty was worth it (hence paying for itself).   When we get our R-Pod we will get the extended warranty, through Forrest River.

I have a 2017 179 and bought the one year warranty extension from Forest River, at $150.00 it's a no-brainer.

With everything they cover and for the length of the warranty I think it is a good deal - but not for the markup that dealers add for the same plan, only if you buy it direct.

The Xtraride warranty can be purchased north and south of the border from what I've read before.

Call FR, the number is posted elsewhere on the forum.
