Generally, I am anti-extended warranty, but I figured the knowledge in this collective group would know if it's worth it for these units.

Absolutely worthwhile extended service policies or "warranties" available... this is a previous post I made:
Most reputable warranty companies offer different levels of coverage... like 'stated coverage' policies, for example, which only cover what is on their list. Exclusionary Coverage covers anything EXCEPT what they exclude.
There are a number of reputable companies around... We have had excellent service from US Warranty Company out of Ohio. Not to be confused with uswarranty.com (which is lousy from what I heard), you want to go to
www.uswceagle.com. And inquire about their different levels of coverage. The exclusionary Eagle Guardian is the one I recommend, and this company stands behind it 100% and does not try to weasel out of coverage. And they are accepted at a lot of shops too.. and even if the shop won't do the work and wait for payment, like a mobile tech, for example, you can check with your adjuster and most times you pay the tech and USWC will reimburse you. We have had their coverage on 3 RV's and wouldn't even consider anyone else.
As for the cost, a lot will depend on the age and mileage of your RV and how expensive a vehicle it was initially. As a for instance, I had a 5 year/100K Eagle Guardian plan with "engine delete" for my 2018 Sunseeker - only cost $1800 because the engine was not warrantied. Didn't need it cause Ford covers it for 5 years. And oh by the way, I sold it in less than a year with no claims and was refunded most of the $1800. Once our new Forester passes the one year mark and the Forest River one year factory warranty expires, I will definitely get another Eagle Guardian plan with "engine delete" on this rig. The peace of mind alone while on the road is easily worth the price.
