Where do I find info on the additional year from FR for $150? If on their website I must have missed it.

i bought the xtraride plan as well. i didnt want to, but with all the extra protection they offer, things like paying your hotel bill if your trailer becomes unusable while your on vacation, or some of the other things,i thought i'd take a chance. 7 years of coverage with a max 50 dollar cost to repair or replace any factory unit sounded pretty good. maybe it isnt a great deal, i hope i never need it honestly.

FR doesn't extend their additional warranty up here so you guys are living large being able to get it for $150. (seems to be the average) Our choice was what the dealer offered and it was just south of really outrageous! Spoke with one of the Mechanics in the back when we were doing our walk through and according to him they don't get many of the Pods coming back. Sure hope he's right because we took a pass on the Dealer offering.

Most everything significant should show up within the first year. You can always bank the amount you would have paid for an extended warranty to cover any contingencies. The dealer warranty is just an expensive insurance policy that makes a lot of money for them with low risk of actually having to pay out.

The Xtraride warranty can be purchased north and south of the border from what I've read before.

With everything they cover and for the length of the warranty I think it is a good deal - but not for the markup that dealers add for the same plan, only if you buy it direct.
