Re:Used Trailer Extended Warranty
pocit -
If I read you right:
It doesn't cover the trailer structure itself (the part built by TM in Tennessee).
Most likely it doesn't cover the running gear (axles, etc).
It doesn't cover tires (wear and tear).
It doesn't cover the battery (wear and tear again).
It doesn't cover the propane bottles.
It DOES cover the appliances, but only for outright failure, not wear and tear. For any given failure, who decides whether it is due to wear and tear? I may be wrong, but I think of appliances as failing for one of two reasons - manufacturing defect, or age (something wore out). Manufacturing defects generally show up while the appliance is young, and are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. That leaves - wear and tear. Of course, failure can also be caused by "abuse" - for example, if you force the refrigerator door open too far, it will break the hinges. Who covers this?
Anyway, from your description, the extent of coverage isn't very clear, and is open to a lot of interpretation. In that kind of situation, I'm not very enthusiastic (could you tell?) I've been bitten by a meaningless but expensive warranty.
The good news is that TM seems to have used top quality appliances throughout. Failures should be rare, especially in a relatively new unit like yours.
And a sort of a side question. Say, for example, the water heater fails, and they agree to fix it. The water heater repair takes 1/2 hour, but disassembling the TM so you can get the water heater out takes 4 hours. What does the repair agreement cover?
