When it comes to your RV, it’s important to make informed decisions on the products you purchase. It’s very easy to become overwhelmed by the “must-have’s” that come with such a big purchase, including items like your satellite dish or kitchen appliances. However, you won’t want to leave out the intangible items that make RVing an easy, safe activity either, including your RV extended warranty. At Wholesale Warranties, we offer these contracts as a way to help safeguard the investment motorhome owners made in their vehicle, but we understand that with tons of conflicting stories and misinformation regarding RV warranties, many buyers can be wary of this purchase.
Not sure if a this type of coverage is right for you? Here are five RV extended warranty benefits you won’t want to miss out on:
1. Provides Peace of Mind
First and foremost, it’s imperative to have a certain level of peace when being responsible for a half-ton vehicle. We hate to say it, but RV breakdowns are bound to happen. According to reports from the RVIA and RVDA, 8 out of 10 motorhomes break down by only their fifth year on the road. Having an understanding of your rig’s future can shape your purchase decisions, and help you decide if the investment in an extended RV warranty is worth it for you.
At Wholesale Warranties, we work with RVers across the US. If we were to informally poll these customers, we have a hunch that one of their favorite RV extended warranty benefits is the peace of mind that comes with knowing the coverage will be there for them. RV’s provide freedom, adventure, and fun, but RV repairs do the opposite. But you don’t have to walk into the RV repair shop on your own! Let the protection and expertise of your RV policy do the heavy lifting.
2. Money-Saving
We applaud the savvy RVers, like those who look for cost-friendly campsites and boondock when appropriate, or those who find work while on the road. The expenses that come with an RV are not for the faint at heart, but with dedication to finding the best deals and putting your money in the right place, it can seem like a piece of cake. Big purchases such as RVs can feel like a money pit due to unfortunate breakdowns, which often seem to come at the most inopportune times.
The cost of an RV warranty varies, but so do repairs. Every trip to the shop is going up, with modern labor rates well over $200 per hour–and that’s before parts! With the RV extended warranties we offer, RV owners have access to cost-friendly alternatives on coverage that works with their RV lifestyle. High-cost repairs like refrigerators (up to $9,300), transmission (up to $15k), or the dreaded RV engine failure (up to $70k) can potentially be covered by your policy, and all you have to worry about is your one low deductible.
Even better, Wholesale Warranties offers a suite of payment options, so whether you want to secure years of coverage at once or spread the cost out, we’ll work up a plan that makes the most sense for you.
3. Extra Protection
In addition to the comprehensive coverage offered by your RV warranty, your Wholesale Warranties Specialist will also bring you up to speed on extra opportunities for protection. Two sought-after options for added protection are RV Roadside Assistance and RV Tire and Wheel Protection. While most warranties will come with limited roadside assistance benefits, savvy RVers can take advantage of a comprehensive roadside assistance package to add on to the warranty. Protecting yourself from the unplanned costs of towing, tire changes, battery changes, or fuel delivery is key. All of these services are covered, at any time and at any place in the U.S., with only a small investment in yearly coverage.
RV Tire and Wheel Protection is another option to consider. This program will safeguard the parts that keep you rolling, and will pay to repair or replace tires and wheels damaged by a road hazard. These policies come with no deductible, and really do safeguard you from those pricey tire costs. Even better? We offer them as an RV extended warranty benefit, meaning they come with your policy and not at an additional charge!
4. Owner Accountability
One of the major requirements of having and RV extended warranty is holding up your end of the deal as the RV owner. Warranties are wonderful in the aspect that they will cover those high dollar items when they fail due to mechanical issues. However, if something were to fail due to owner negligence, there is a chance it wouldn’t be covered by the warranty. Regular RV maintenance can be a simple task if done correctly and frequently. Keeping an eye on your oil, engine, and belts, as well as the cleanliness of your major appliances, will make your RV a safer place for everyone involved—and it will help secure your coverage. Owning an RV can be intimidating at first, but if you take the time, it’s sure to get you through all of your adventures without a hitch.
5. Customer Service
To put things plainly: we’ve got your back. Traveling in and maintaining an RV is hard enough without the stress of dealing with claims issues or keeping an eye on your repair facility. We are happy to have an in-house Claims Specialist who will be there for you in all claims to make the process that much easier. You will also have a claims rep from your warranty company who will go to bat for you in the event your repair facility is overcharging you, or requesting work that does not need to be done. You won’t have to worry about being overcharged because these knowledgeable reps can pinpoint any extraordinary repair charges, like overpriced parts and unneeded labor.
On top of all of that, if you ever have questions about your RV Warranty, need an additional copy of lost paperwork, or need to transfer your policy to a new owner, our friendly, hard-working team will be available to you throughout the life of your warranty term.
We want our customers to feel confident in their decision, and knowing the obvious and more subtle RV extended warranty benefits is a great way to achieve that.
