Second year warranty

Just bought my new 2017 Surveyor 200MBLE! What are your thoughts on getting the 2nd year FR Warranty? It's $150.

If its only 150 and covers all the stuff the factory warranty covers thats cheap in my book go for it.

have you priced 3rd party warranties?
They cost a lot more than $150 and cover less.

there are literally thousands of posts about buying it.

Don't even think about it. Write the check and send it in. The best $150.00 you will ever spend.

Mark
Do you want to pay full price for any of the items the warranty covers if they go bad your second year?
yes, buy it.

Definitely a good deal and still is a no-brainer to me, but doesn't cover "all the stuff the factory warranty covers". I tried to get a cheap 120v outlet covered and it is not part of the 2nd year warranty, got to read the fine print...

I considered doing it. Was showed the "small print" of the warranty. Covers nothing mechanical and only "defects in workmanship". If it does not cover mechanical or wear items then what does it cover?

How long do you have to purchase? I was thinking about it? Picked my new 5th wheel up two weeks ago.

Actually I should have said you have to read the Large Print, only the specific items in the large print are covered. The electrical system and wiring is not covered by omission in the large print, i.e., my $15 outlet was not covered...

You have 90 days from purchase according to the application paper.

Do it.

I purchased the 2nd year warranty for my new rig. I felt that it was well worth the $150.00 charge.

I would do it.
I'm still kicking myself because I didn't read about the $150 2nd year until it was too late. We took delivery of our 2017 last April and I didn't find out I could have done it until the end of the season.

Best thing I ever did. As many issues as I had with my trailer over the past couple years, it covered them. So very glad we bought the second year warranty. BaltimoreMark- smart move buying it. Kimber45- go for it. Buy it. It will cover way more than you spend on it.
