My husband and I just purchased our new motorhome yesterday! It's a Newmar Dutch Star Diesel Pusher, 2001. We're so excited! We're 60-somethings ready to retire and live full time in our motorhome.
We'll be dong the walk through and picking up our rig on Dec. 20. In the meantime, there are loose ends to tie up. What is your opinion of extended warranty coverage? We're not mechanically inclined (actually mechanically challenged!) and the prospect of expensive repairs scares me. I've looked at several options: Good Sam (expensive and lots of loopholes), the dealer offered a plan but it required us to pay the bill at the time of repair, then get reimbursement. I don't like that idea. Then on another forum I heard about Warranty Experts from Alabama. I can't seem to find anyone who has used them. Does anyone here have experience or know of this company?
Our new (to us) MH is beautiful and seems to have been well maintained. only 17,000 miles and everything looks like new. The previous owner kept it garaged most of the time. Nevertheless, things (EXPENSIVE things) can go wrong. Are we foolish to spend money on an extended warranty?
Can't wait to meet and make new friends around the campfire! We'll be leaving Florida (our home base) mid-March '07 heading west to a convention in Dallas, then on to CA to visit family.
Thanks for any and all suggestions
