Theres Geering Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 We are considering buying extended warranty insurance for our Motorhome, a Class A, 2015 Thor Tuscany. The warranty is guaranteed and backed by PLATEAU CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Crossville TN. Has anyone had any experience with this company ?

Kirk W Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 First, welcome to the Escapee forums! I am not familiar with that particular company but did find a rating of A- from AM Best on the internet. I suggest that you take the time to read this article on extended warranties from Escapees Magazine before you make your decision. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Theres Geering Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have read this article on extended warranties, and consequently we have decided not to get this insurance. Thank.you for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 We didn’t purchase an extended warranty when we got our motorhome, but did set up a repair/maintenance fund equal to 10% of the purchase price. And we set money aside each and every month so that when ( and it is when) we need to fix something the money is there. For maintenance, we include 1/12 of all the costs yearly maintenance and things like tires, batteries, etc. I always figure on setting aside the cost of one tire each year, so that when replace time comes (6-8 years) we have the money already set aside. Same thing for batteries, tires for the car, battery for the car, anything that needs periodic replacement.

packnrat Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 set money aside = win, win. getting suckered into a "extended warenty" = you lose. the dealer gets more cash out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
