They didn't use it as a selling point, not even mentioning it until the next day.  I would use it as a selling point if I sold it today.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:11:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5397&PID=52552#52552 Protective XtraRide extended warranty : Thanks Doug.

Thanks Doug. Pretty much exactly how I feel. We can afford it, so I think I will let the decision lie with wife. I would probably take the money. She will probably take peace of mind.

BTW, I checked about lesser years/rates. They definitely want the money up front:

4 years: $600
5 years: $626
6 years: $657

Did the extended warranty option help your decision on purchasing your unit? Curious if it helps resale.

Thanks!

I literally put my transfer paperwork in the mail today, for the Platinum plan the prior owners purchased for my Salem.  I read the booklet cover to cover and it sounds good, just pricey for the whole 6 years.  However, if your pod's fridge completely fails in those 6 years it will just about pay for itself.  For the $50 its costing us to transfer the 1 1/2 years left on our contract I would be dumb not to do it but I'm not sure I'd buy that plan from the start.  If you want peace of mind and can afford the $, go for it, but from a financial standpoint odds are you'll do better putting that $650 in the bank for the next 6 years and draw from it if something does break.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2014 11:19:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5397&PID=52521#52521 Protective XtraRide extended warranty : Looking for opinions on theProtective... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5397&PID=52510#52510 Author: fwunder

Looking for opinions on the Protective XtraRide extended warranty. Our 2014 178 is just about one year old w/about 10,000 miles on it. We probably won't put that many miles every year, but we do intend to use it quite often.

I just received the paperwork from my dealer for an extended warranty. On the surface it actually looks like a pretty good deal and I'm not usually an extended warranty buyer.

The plan:

Towable-New. Platinum plan. Pretty much bumper to bumper including slide out, appliances, AV, etc.

72 month term (6 years). $100.00 deductible. Can transfer upon sale for $75.00.

Contract plan: $657.00 plus tax.

The little bit of research I can find on the web seems to indicate this is a pretty good deal. What do you think?

Thanks!

fred
