    RV Extended Warranties

    Agree PB, but I couldn't come close to the prices that foretravel or newell ask. So, I'm looking at the lower end of the used RV cost. At this point, thinking about blowing off the extended RV warranty, as I should still be pretty handy regarding RV repairs. It can't be any worse than...

    RV Extended Warranties

    Good advice PB. I (almost) learned that lesson the hard way. Went to check out an identical unit (a year older than the one I'm looking at), in Lincoln NE a month or so ago. During the walkaround I found some spongy areas on the floor near the queen bed, drivers side. Sales rep looked...

    RV Extended Warranties

    BTW, after researching other websites, the vast majority of posts state that Camping World and Good Sam (apparently a subsidiary of CW) are run by the Mafia. I've never dealt with either of these companies, but plan to stay away from them for any kind of extended warranty they provide.

    RV Extended Warranties

    PB, I agree. That said, do you have an extended warranty on your RV? If so, what company do you use for said warranty?

    RV Extended Warranties

    Thanks. Neglected to mention that the TT is used (a 2013 KZ Sprotsmen S242SBH). The warranty cost looks to be around 2K for 5-year, hitch-bumper coverage. Seems to be about twice what I thought it would be...

    RV Extended Warranties

    I’m about to purchase an RV locally. Dealership is offering an extended warranty called “Easy Care”. That said, are there any good (or bad) extended warranty companies out there that cover RVs?

    I'm looking to purchase...

    Thanks Shane, good info. Been out of pocket for a while, so apologize for the late response. I ended up passing on this rig. Had some areas where it looked like there was some roof water damage, and the floors felt a little spongy.

    I'm looking to purchase...

    a 2009 Forest River Cherokee 27BH. My '13 Expy is equipped with the HD Towing Pkg, which at 9000 lbs GVWR provides me with a 1100 lb surplus given this TT has a GVWR of 7927 lbs. That all said, with an eight grand price for the TT, would appreciate your thoughts if this a good deal. I have an...

    2014 Expedition Liftgate Rust?

    Good info Cyclone. Thanks for posting. Had the same issue with the corrosion on my rear tailgate when I first purchased my Expy. Local Ford dealership said they wouldn’t be able to do anything (outside of warranty), so I paid a friend of mine to fix it last November. He did a great job, but...

    When selling cars, how do you get paid safely, anyway?

    I have a savings account with five bucks in it, for transactions such as these. I provide that account number to the buyer, allowing him to deposit the agreed sale price into my account from his bank. Once I determine the buyers funds are securely deposited into my account, I hand him the...

    Car broken into, spare key stolen

    Good question Frank. Bottom line though, Marlin was able to use the great advice of other members to disable his Expy and prevent her from being stolen. Marlin, hopefully, no damage to your Expy as the frustrated thieves were thwarted by the precautions you set.

    Towing my '16 Expedition

    fxdwg, this doesn’t answer your initial question but providing attached (pg.11) FIY. Assume you already know this, and that your Expy is a 4x4. https://www.fleet.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/towingguides/Ford_Linc_16RVTTgde_r4_Jul27.pdf
