This post may need to be moved to the most appropriate forum....
The new motorhome is ordered and will be here by June ( I hope...). I am getting "offers" and promotions for extended service contracts, warranties, separate tire coverage, and club memberships. I am having a hard time sorting the wheat from the chaff. When buying an appliance, car, etc. I always decline the extended warranties because I figure that the company offering the product/service has done the calculations of the likely expenses, added a profit, paid a sales staff and still comes out ahead. Is it any different with a motorhome (other than the expenses are bigger and there are more things to go wrong)? Most of the contracts that I have read either list limited specific things they cover or an extensive laundry list of things they don't cover.
Then there are various clubs / organizations, from Good Sam, Coach Net, etc. Other than the connection with like minded people what do these organizations offer?
What is the thinking out there on these issues?
I am not trying to start a running pro or anti commentary, just looking to put these issues in perspective.
