Good Sam extended service plan (is it worth it?)

Post by Ride n' Birdy »

Good day all!
Happy Spring. It snowed this morning, but not stopping me from getting the camper out and ready to rock first weekend the weather permits. Hope you are all well, and are ready for another great year!
Anyhow, I just purchased an extended warranty through Good Sam. What do you all feel about these extended plans? I know a lot of you are under factory warranty, but there must be quite a few who are not.
My Camper is a 2007 pull behind. 31 feet w/ 2 slides. I have no attached generator, or auto leveling systems.
Long story short, I hope I am not wasting the money each month on a service that will not be worth the money. I'm paying 68 bucks a month for a 200 deductible. (Covers all the major items, gaskets, seals and slides)

Welcome to the Club!
I've had the Good Sam ESP for about 4 years now. I pay the premium all at once every February and it breaks down to less than $30 a month so I am puzzled by you premium about your premium, you sure that isn't a quarterly premium? We had our 120V to 12V converter go our last spring and the Plan covered all but our deductable so even with the 3 yrs of premiums we are money ahead.
Which model is your trailer? As you can see ours is also travel trailer or a pull behind.

I have GS extended service on both my camper and TV. I used it on the TV and saved over 2000.00 on the repair work. I have not used it on the camper yet and truely hope I never need to, but its there just in case.

it is worth it if you have to use it,we did not get the Good Sam but another company for 1700 when we bought it new,so far they have paid out 3700.00 so it has been money well spent.
