I would recommend putting the money you would spend on a warranty in the bank.  Most repairs I have seen on these rv sites are less than what the warranty costs.  Most likely at the end of 6 years or what ever the warranty period is you will still have some money left in the bank.]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2012 11:47:14 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41296&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41296 Extended Warranty or not : Camping World's warranty... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41284&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41284 Author: artgpo

Camping World's warranty was more expensive with less coverage.  There have been many complaints on here concerning inconsistent or incompetent repairs at CW.  A better choice would be a national extended warranty that permits you to take your RV to any licensed RV repair shop. I paid less than $1,300 for an 84 month plan (includes the first two years of factory warranty). Shop smart on the Internet and you can find a reputable warranty at a good price that permits you to chose your place of repair.

We purchased the 5-year Camping World warranty. With so many components (stove, heaters, etc.) and CW's all over the country, we felt it was worth having the extended coverage.
 
That being said, we also purchased the "dumbed down" version - we must take it to CW and pay $50 deductible...the added cost for the "premium" didn't seem worth it...the "reduced" coverage was 1/2 the price.

Most extended warranties are through third parties and have nothing to do with Crossroads. My Xtra Ride is the Platinum plan and covers almost everything bumper to hitch.  I can take my Cruiser to any licensed repair shop or mobile repair.  My recent black tank repair took place right where we are staying without the hassle of having to take it to a shop.
 
Cost is negotiable.  I saved a bundle by buying through a reputable online warranty dealer. The local Crossroads dealer could not match the price nor could several other dealers.

Was just reading about extended warranty on Cruisers.  I didnt know that there was such a thing.  What does it cover and how much does it cost?  Is it thru the dealer or Crossroads?  Do you need to bring the 5th wheel back to Crossroads factory to use the warranty?  All new to me - any comments or experience with it? Thanks.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:58:10 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41216&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41216 Extended Warranty or not : artgpo wrote:Our Cruiser's... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41211&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41211 Author: wardvoia

Our Cruiser's two year warranty expired last August.  In July, I purchased the Xtra Ride extended warranty.  I have six extra years of coverage.  Matter of fact, XR just paid over $400 to repair a leaking black tank. For something with so many parts that rolls bouncing down the road I feel it is a good investment.
 
Very good point on waiting to purchase the extended coverage. We purchased the extended coverage at time of purchase as we were not told that buying at a later date would be an option.

Makes you kinda wonder where the profit makers are!!!!
NOT.

Recently I purchased a chair, the store wanted to apply a fabric protector on it for an additional fee. Then I pointed out that the chair was made of fabric already bearing the Scotch Guard treatment.
Saleperson got quiet.....
But I understand, everyone needs to make a living.

We did not get the extended warrantee ,but did get the protective coating. Its been sitting outside since March 3rd and still looks as clean as it was in the showroom. dirt seems to slide right off of it. Even bird droppings!.... Negotiate the cost as ours was $525 for our 30RE.  It,s a moneymaker for the salesperson!   Happy Campin'!]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:50:01 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41064&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41064 Extended Warranty or not : We just bought our new trailer.... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4509&PID=41061&title=extended-warranty-or-not#41061 Author: Badwin
