Buy An RV Warranty This Winter Before Prices Increase

Winter is just around the corner and so is 2022.

Do It Yourself RV recommends buying an RV warranty before the new year as prices will go up.

For RVers in the cooler climates of the United States and Canada, winterizing the RV comes around every year about this time. For those that already have an RV warranty, their concerns stop when the winterizing is complete. For those that do not have a warranty however, this is the time of year to analyze your risk and make a decision to purchase one before the prices increase in January. 

Why RV warranty prices always go up on January 1st

On January 1st, the RV you own becomes one model year older. The older your RV is, the more risk for the RV warranty company, and thus, the possibility of additional cost for you. Additionally, your RV is one year closer to no longer being a candidate for an RV warranty. You stand the risk of surpassing the warranty provider’s cut-off date.

The one I have with the Good Sam Club expires next year. It was a 7-year plan and I purchased it after I bought my 2015 Minnie Winnie new. To date, I have not had any need to use it.
