warranties

[glenwynn]

I thought I would list everything that has been replaced or repaired on my 2005 Montana 3650RK

1. New dining room table.
2. Nine windows replaced.
3. Fireplace replaced.
4. Apollo microwave replaced.
5. Three curtains replaced.
6. Propane selector valve replaced.
7. Water heater propane valve replaced twice.
8. Refrigerator cooling unit replaced.
9. Crack in the side wall by the kitchen slide repaired.
10. Gray water tank repaired by me, out of warranty
11. Apollo microwave repaired, out of warranty

Everything except 10 and11 was replaced under warranty. I was wondering if anybody else has had to have any of these things replaced or repaired. It makes the extended warranty look pretty good.

A Major repair of the main A/C unit and a replacement of the landing gear motor were the only repairs made to my 2003 Big Sky under extended warranty. However, I had some major body work done on both sides due to blowouts under insurance claims.

You just answered my wife's question. Honey",The montana will be one year old next month should we get the extended warranty"?

Repairs to my 2005 2955RL - one, a 99 cent gasket to fix a hydraulic leak. But I do have the black water flush siphon valve acting up and will have to do something about it.

I used my extended warranty one time nad it paid for itself on a hot water heater repair. It is well worth the money.

My.."things that went wrong in the first year" list is a lot longer than yours. We do have a extended warranty.

I have the 7 year extended warranty. If I never use it, I will be happy.

I have had a few issues all covered by warranty and some past the one year. Some were covered by the manufacture of other things[frig]. The Apollo is a different story. Ours went out[look at other post] and Apollo said to bad, ordered a new one[DW likes the 1/2 time part]. Unpacked and installed it and the new one is bad[quits working but not the breaker] and waiting for parts and service man to come here Friday to repair. We have had great service from Kettelsen's in Hiawatha IA and Keystone. We will see on the Apollo.

Well ours is almost 1 1/2 yrs old now and have not had to use the warrenty yet. But I did get the extended warranty with the hopes that I will never have to use it.

Speaking of extended warranties, we are having a problem with the extended warranty we bought from Warranty Experts. We've been told that there was a disagreement between them and RV Shield and they didn't pay for our warranty (found this out many months later). Haven't had a claim but am told (verbally only) that Warranty Experts will handle our claims themselves but have not been given anything in writing despite several attempts. Anyone else had this problem? If I can get our $$ back, what is a good company to use to buy another extended warranty? We have a 2007 3400.

We also purchased our extended Warranty through Warranty Experts on 11/10/06.Understand that warranty experts is a "insurance agency" that sells many different kinds of insurance same as your local insurance agent that may sell many different kinds of insurance. Our policy is actually a "Rv shield"policy. The contract administrator is "Warrantech" and the finanical obligator is "Butler Financial Solutions, LLC. When you call the 800 number to report a claim you are talking to "Warrantech" Not Warranty Experts. As the post above indicates there was some trouble within the Warranty Experts agency and they now have a unacceptable BBB report. They were OK when we purchased ours.....However if there is any doubt about your policy call the 800 number listed on your policy to report a claim...in my case 1-800-654-3372 and simply ask them if you have a valid policy...They will tell you...Mine is OK.

This may be a moot point if you are full-timing or long-timing, however in the interest of providing information, I feel compelled to contribute. I researched Warranty Experts and a couple of other rvprotection plans available on the internet and had a hard time differentiating between the companies and the plans. In the end, I decided my best route was (believe it or not) to take the advice of my local dealer and go with the firm that they had been dealing with for the past few years. Although the price was a bit higher (it is a nationwide policy not local only) I felt that keeping the purchase local (dealer commissions and all) was in my personal best interest. Bottom line, I trust my dealer therefore I trust my decision. Everyone will not be able to do the same, but since my local dealer does most of my service, except for melt-downs on the road and the projects I elect to do, I decided to keep my business with them. Additional six years of coverage so I am happy.

On edit: keeping with the OP thread:
Warraty items addressed:
Third apollo oven,
cabinet repairs from leaky faucet in kitchen,
leaking shower (still pending)
torn day/night shade
electrical outlet in DVD cabinet repaired,
fireplace adjustment knob replaced,
sink covers replaced due to warpage,
lug nuts replaced (rusting), and
shore cable replaced due to pulling apart at plug

Minor issues to me that were all satisfactorily resolved, sans shower leak which is now being addressed. Overall, I consider myself very happy with dealer and Keystone.

I called the claim number several months ago and was told that I did not have a valid warranty which started my "discussions" with Warranty Experts. Will work now on getting my $$ back if possible.
