Full-time voids warranty?

[walaby]

Yeah, in this paragraph, the placement of comma's are critical.


This, that OR the other...


Three different conditions, mutually exclusive.

We fulltime in our MH. When the air conditioner was replaced, under warranty, they knew we lived in it. It was never an issue but we weren’t using a dealer, an independent RV repair shop. We do have Progressive Insurance. I have terminal honesty also and it would be stupid to fudge to an insurance company. BTW, a RV shop vs the dealer was so incredible I would never use a dealer again.

Interestingly, I just purchased a Progressive policy yesterday for my new RV. While I didn't purchase it, I noticed in their disclaimer/policy, there is a "full-timer's option" rider that you can purchase. I didn't read what it covers of if not purchasing excludes full time coverage, or perhaps less coverage. Pleasantly, I did purchase for a couple of bucks, a 16 year rider on roof replacement for damage or failure.

I believe the full time options cover things like loss of living quarters and such, much the same as if your brick and mortar were to burn down.

Remember, these things are thrown together with staples. The manufacturer needs to cover their back, as they know things will break with much use.

I was under the impression that most RVs are for occasion use only. It is stated in there owners manuals. It was in the owners manuals for the three fivers that I have owned from Forest River. The Cardinal that I now own is rated for full time. There can be an issue with finance and insurance for full time use.

A lot of info here but not too many answers Why nor go to Forest River & ask them (not the dealers) Forest Rivers maybe they can answer the question

It will if you have it titled with a Montana LLC

Probably wouldn't get a straight answer from them either. They know how many people full time in these things or take 30 day or 18 day trips in back to back months. I would guess they would continue to cover most things until it gets into high cost on their end. Also, certain things like ACs, furnaces, fridges, microwaves, etc, have individual warranties. Their warranties should not be affected by full timing.

im not going to read 3 pages of responses to say they only know you full time if you tell them. don't tell don't ask and who knows the wiser.

Some are built and warranted for fulltime living, most are not. We bought our RS for fulltime living, dealer knows it, Forest River knows it and we had a bunch of warranty work done where Forest River and the dealer bent over backwards to accommodate us.

More important than warranty IMO, and I've only seen it mentioned briefly, is the insurance. If you want to live in the rv fulltime and use it as your personal residence it is important to put the cards on the table and make sure it is included in the insurance policy.

My 2018 Cardinal 3925 FL is rated for full timing and if I did use it full time it would be under warranty. The warranty is only for one year.
