There are basically 3 types of RV warranty coverage:

Coach Coverage Only
Coach coverage usually covers your coach components only, not your engine components. We really don't recommend this type of coverage because the price is very similar to a full coverage policy.

Named Component Coverage
Named component coverage will only list items on the coach itself as well as the chassis that are covered by the policy. If the part is not listed, it will not be covered. Please note: You may have to pay extra surcharges for optional packages for such items as Seals & Gaskets coverage, Audio Video package, Slide-Outs, Leveling Jacks, etc with this type of policy.

Exclusionary Coverage
Exclusionary coverage will detail only the items that are not covered by the policy. If it is not listed in the not covered section or in the exclusions section, the part will be covered with this policy.

Two Very Important items to look for in your warranty coverage.

Seals & Gaskets Coverage
This will cover repairs to any covered component if the covered part failure is caused by a bad Seal or Gasket. For instance: If your rear main seal goes out in your rear end and you don't have seals or gaskets coverage, the warranty company will deny the claim and you will be responsible for the cost of the repair.

Normal Wear & Tear
This coverage is the most important to look for. Most warranty companies will exclude normal Wear & Tear form their coverage. This allows the warranty company to deny any claim they want when a part fails, the warranty company will tell you the cause of the failure was that the part simply wore out. This is why you must look for a warranty policy that includes normal Wear & Tear.

The Warranty Advisors staff has put together a checklist for you to print out to help assist you in selecting the right warranty coverage for your RV. Remember a sound warranty coverage should include Normal Wear & Tear also Seals & Gaskets coverage. [Click Here to download Checklist] (approx. 110KB)
