Picking up our new Rpod next month.

Dealer offered 4 and 5 year National Extended Service Protection Plans. We declined.

Anyone have any comments regarding the benefit or not of purchasing same?

Thanks in advance!

You don't mention a cost, but generally I am not a fan of extended warranties. Major issues with your RV will probably occur in the first few months of use and be covered by a standard warranty, like a vehicle. It is an industry to sell extended warranties and service plans. I have been offered them on many occasions and denied them the same. In some ways a double edged sword, but I've been OK without them, so have no reason to change my thinking.

+1 to Mike's post above. Have never purchased an extended warranty on auto's, electronics, appliances, r-pods or anything else and have never regretted that decision. Pretty much IMHO a money pit for us, the purchaser, and a money bonanza for the seller.
