I would only take it if I thought a couple major appliances might go out in that time.. otherwise, a TT is a pretty simple machine and most handy people can sort out what might be wrong..

Oh, and it was offered to us (the $150) one when we bought in July..

So they do still offer the extra year for $150, thanks a lot for this tip.  I think I am going to opt for that.  Now this will probably mean that I will see a $1550 problem on day 731.  But, if I bought the 4 year for $1700, that would mean, according to Murphy whom I know closely, I'd see the same problem on day 1461, so I figure it's probably the same only I'm saving $1550.

Trust me, you'll need it and use it before the 5-years are over.

We just purchased a 2012 RP177.  I was just quoted $1700 for a 4 year extended warranty.  Now they never mentioned anything about a factory extension to 2 years for $150, but this post is 2 years old.  I'm going to call tomorrow.  $1700 just seems a bit hard to swallow.  I guess I would just call the factory to see if they still offer this warranty?

As this will most likely be the last Travel Trailer I purchase, I went ahead an purchased a 7 year add on warranty. I never have purchased an additional warranty for any vehicle or appliance before and will most likely fix anything that breaks myself. Those exception are the appliances A/C and manufacturing defects. I had a previous trailer that ended up with major problems after 2 years and I kicked myself for not getting the extended warranty.
Odds are, it will never be used, and if not....fine by me.

The R-pod comes with a 1-year all-inclusive warranty, standard.  The extended warranty option extends this warranty by 1 year, to 2 years total.  In addition, some items in the 'pod have longer warranties:

Axle - 5 yr, Frame - 3 yr, Fiberglass - 2 yr, A/C, Fridge - 3 yr, Stove, Microwave, LCD TV, Water heater, Water pump - 2 yr.

Your dealer should offer you the chance to buy an additional 1-year extended warranty from Forest River, and you have 10 days from your date of purchase to decide.  Its $150, fairly low as extended warranties go.  Personally I don't ever buy them, but this was an exception.
 
There have been one or two reports of dealers not offering this warranty, or steering customers to higher-priced add-on warranties, so I want to make sure new owners know about this.  Obviously the reports are the exceptions and not the rule - most dealers do offer this.
