Extended Warranties Are Mostly a Lie

Your dealer makes more on the extended warranty than they do on the RV. That's not a take. That's industry-public margin data.

Two thousand dollars, three thousand, sometimes seven. And what does it cover? Read it. Most of them exclude the things that actually fail. Slide motors. Roof seals. Anything 'wear-and-tear.' Which is everything.

The dealer signs you up in the F&I office at 9 PM after a six-hour buy. You're exhausted. You're not reading 40 pages of exclusions. They know that.

Some warranties are good. The ones you buy direct from a third-party provider, after the sale, after you've read every page. Not the ones bundled at signing.
