Does this sound familiar? You’ve purchased your first RV. In the finance office you’re now offered a small selection of different RV Warranty options. It’s often at the end of a long tiring visit to select the RV, come to terms on the financing and then there’s the warranty decisions. It’s hard to say, ‘I’ll hold on the warranty for now’. You want to protect this big investment so your gut says we should really get one of these warranties…. and it would be much easier to just do it now, right? Better to be safe than sorry?

A friend recently purchased a small Wolf Pup travel trailer for $12,000. When she walked out of the dealer, she had purchased $8800 (!) in warranty items! The next day she came to her senses and got out of some of them. One was even a motorized option and she had a trailer!

Now, picture your auto insurance agent. You didn’t buy your car from their agency but you get your insurance from them. Many of us still have the local insurance office we can go to for questions, issues, etc. and even know the name of our personal agent. It’s often a long-term relationship.

Wholesale Warranties, on the other hand, finds the best providers, and gives the RVer all of the info they need to make the right decision for them! This way, you aren’t stuck with a policy you don’t understand, or that doesn’t match up with your coverage expectations.

Want to diver a little deeper before the live event? Here are the levels of coverage offered from Wholesale Warranties

Exclusionary RV Warranty: This is the highest level of coverage available for both motorhomes and towable RVs. An exclusionary policy will tell you what is NOT covered by the policy. If your breakdown is not on the contract’s specific exclusions list, then it will be covered. The policy is built to cover most any electrical or mechanical failure on your vehicle, and items that will be covered by this policy range from your microwave to your diesel engine, and will even cover uncommon components like solar panels.

Listed Component RV Warranty: This policy is another very comprehensive option. The policy will read the exact opposite of an Exclusionary contract. That is, a Listed Component RV warranty will provide a list of what IS covered by the policy. If the failure is not specifically listed as covered, it will be excluded. Items you can expect to be covered by this policy include appliances, heating and cooling components, your engine, and more.

Powertrain Only RV Warranty: This level of coverage is perfect for the motorhome owner who is looking to protect their budget from the most catastrophic possible breakdowns. A Powertrain Only policy will cover your engine, transmission and drive axle components. All other failures are excluded by this type of contract.

Coach Only RV Warranty: Specific to motorhomes, a Coach Only policy will offer coverage to the mechanical components housed in the “coach” of the unit. Your engine, powertrain, and drive axle will be specifically excluded. Items you can expect to be covered include appliances, heating and cooling, leveling jacks, and more.Whole
