ColinM50 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 When we bought our current used m/h it didn't come with a manufacturers warranty owing to the fact that it "missed" a service when one year old. Instead the dealer we bought it from provided a one year third party warranty. This is now due for renewal at a cost of £480. The m/h has only done less than 5,000 miles Is this worth it since all the exclusions seem to imply that they actually cover the square root of eff all. So what say you all? Worth it or a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpyman Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I wouldn't bother renewing at that price. You can get a full Habitation check by a Quilfied NCC engineer for around £ 150 . My engineer takes at least three hours to complete it. Grumpyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocs Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I'm assuming the reference is for a base vehicle warranty as well as the habitation side. I've often considered a warranty once the manufacturer's one has run its course but, when faced with the costs, have always backed out. The main risk, I would have thought, is to the base vehicle and it might be worth covering this, but not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 There's an example of a 'used motorhome' warranty product here. https://www.best4warranty.com/products/auto-motorhome/ 20 years ago, when base-vehicle and converter warranties on new motorhomes were usually for 12 months, I had an 'insurance' type warranty on my first (used) Herald motorhome. I claimed twice on this - for a replacement heater (about £1000) and for a rear-axle bearing issue (about £3000), but I've never bothered since then when the base-vehicle and converter warranties have expired.

Seth77 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Sounds like that third party warranty covers next to nothing might be better to save the £480 for any future repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 That may depend on the warranty... A GOOGLE-search on motorhome insurance based warranty and motorhome insurance based warranty reviews would be worth doing and there's one of the results here https://warrantysolutionsgroup.co.uk/are-motorhome-warranties-really-worth-the-money/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
