Almost every motor home you buy will come with some kind of warranty. Whether you buy something new or used, the warranty will, of course, be different. New cars come with longer warranties than used cars. However, the warranty on both types of cars will run out at some point, leaving you at risk of having to pay for expensive repairs if something goes wrong with your car after the warranty runs out. And, guess what, usually something does happen!! You can protect yourself from this, though, by getting a longer warranty for your motor home.
An extended warranty gives many motor home owners peace of mind. Since companies now offer extended warranties directly to owners through the internet, premiums have gone down a lot, making an extended warranty a very good deal. You'll find that dealer-sold extended warranties are much more expensive. This is because the insurance companies have to raise their prices to pay the dealer's commission. Online businesses don't have to pay this fee, so they can offer better prices.
Make sure you are dealing with a reputable company when you buy a longer warranty. The best companies are backed by insurance companies that Standard & Poor and others have given a "A" rating to. Do not buy an extended warranty on a motor home from a company that won't tell you how good the company that backs the policy is. You can get an extended warranty on both new and used motor homes. If a vehicle is very old or has a lot of miles on it, though, you won't be able to get an extended warranty.
Different motor homes have different costs to protect against expensive repairs, so here are a few tips to help you.
- Most companies won't use engines made by Renault.
- In general, diesel engines cost more, and then the price goes up or down depending on where the engine is. Most of the time, rear engines cost more.
Some changes to engines will void the warranty, but adding a turbocharger will make the cost of coverage go up.
- There will be an extra cost for adding things like satellite dishes, TVs, stereos, etc.
- There will be an extra charge for every year after the first few that the car has been on the road. With mileage, the extra fees will begin sooner.
The best way to find out how much an extended warranty for a motor home costs is to call a few companies and ask for a full rundown of all the policy's details. So, you can make an informed choice and pick the policy that you think is best for you.
