I would say yes to the extended warrenty and no to everything else. You can accomplish 1-4 with a can of scotch guard, mothers wax and an occasional pressure wash of the under carriage

The only thing we got was the extended warranty. It was for an additional 5 years and my wife is very much in favour of peace of mind so we negotiated a good deal on it. I think it was around $1200 and we get a portion of it back if we don't use it so we went for it.

All that other stuff sounds pretty sleazy and I'd be taking my business elsewhere.

We're in a pretty bad recession. TT prices are bare bones profit for the dealers. I guess you can't blame them for trying. Once they do get a customer they try to reel in more profits.

You just have to be able to say NO. I don't think that would change my opinion of the dealer if he gave me a deal on an RV.


Well said. I hate when any salesman tries to sell me these types of add-ons, but they are just doing their job and trying to make money. This is why they are called salesmen. I would politely decline all. If the person keeps pushing, then be a little more forceful. If they push too hard, then it may be time to find a new dealer.


Best of Luck on your purchase!!

No to all. Many will also tell you not to believe anything the salesman tells you, especially about the ability of your TV to tow a particular trailer.

Friends bought the extended warranty on their Denali, when they had a delam on the front it wasn't covered. I would say no to all and shop around. Not sure where you are located, if on the lower mainland go check out BCRV and ask for Scot.
