   drjim, welcome.  The existing factory warranty will work through any major problems - as others said, if its going to break its going to break early.  If you really want a warranty get the factory extension for $150, also already mentioned.  Other than that stick your $2k in the bank and hold on to it in case something breaks after that.  Odds are in your favor you'll come out ahead.

My response when asked if I want the extended warranty for anything is "if your company is willing to make the bet that it won't break, I'm willing to take that bet too".  The factory extension for the pod is the only exception, I did buy that.

	drjim, pass on the warranty and put the two grand in a separate savings account. after 3 or 4 years you will be 2k ahead of the game. most small problems can be fixed with a screwdriver , pliars and a good dose of common sense. I did take a 3 year extended warranty from dometic on the the 3 way fridge, it was reasonable and I knew the cost to replace it would be pretty high. Donna and I are on our third season with the pod with no failures, break downs , etc. it is a quality unit.
