Yeah, many dealers don't let people know about FR's warranty since they can make more money selling the aftermarket warranties.

The only warranty our dealer spoke of was expensive so I passed. As it turned out we didn't need it, but easily could have.

I never buy extended warranties, but I did buy one on the 3 way fridge as it was reasonable and my dealer said they were expensive to replace. I hope I didn't waste my green stamps.

I'm a big believer in that if it doesn't break in the first 90 days, it is likely that it won't and you have a good unit. IMO anything that goes bad after the first year is a maintenance task for me or just crummy luck.
It really is a nice price for the peace of mind though. Lots have been happy to get it!

I pick up an rpod 178 on friday and the dealer has suggested a seven year extended warranty that costs $1999...has anyone done this...it seems to be way out of line for the unit.
Am looking forward to getting answers and support from this forum. Jim

Not familiar with this offer. Was not presented as an option.

Have never once heard of a 7 years warranty from any Pod owner or dealer ever in 4 years. The only warranty that is commonly offered is the additional 1 year warranty that can be bought for $150. People rarely get the warranties. Thing is in most people's opinions is that if it doesn't break in the first year then it's probably not going to in the 2nd year. A good first year of camping and using your Pod will work out all the kinks and/or issues.
