Extended Warranties

As we enjoy traveling in our recreational vehicles, national parks, campgrounds, and other camping locations are ready for us to chart our own path to enjoying the beautiful outdoors!

One of the inevitable realities with our RVs, though, is that they have a LOT of cool equipment and mechanical items that we enjoy but that can cause problems every now and then. From slideouts to RV air conditioning, it’s a real hassle and expensive when they don’t work.

Having a great vehicle service contract (sometimes referred to as an extended warranty) can be really valuable. The peace of mind of knowing that a mechanical issue can be fixed by a local mobile mechanic or any close dealership ‐ and not cost a lot ‐ is important.

Investing in a service contract is smart for a lot of reasons, but making sure the contract has key benefits and coverage is also very important. When looking for a top provider, it’s important that you verify what the contract offers. Some of the benefits to look for are:

  • Mechanical repairs can be performed by any qualified mechanic throughout the United States and Canada.
  • The contract will cover the cost of the labor charged by the repair provider (the retail labor rate).
  • The contract will cover parts costs up to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).
  • The contract will pay the repair provider directly. No out-of-pocket expenses for a covered repair other than the deductible.
  • Top-tier service contracts also include: emergency roadside assistance, towing, mobile mechanic dispatch, and other really valuable benefits with no out-of-pocket costs!

Several high-quality service contract providers exist. FMCA has done the research and concluded that “DriveQuest” coverage checks all the boxes. DriveQuest is available through the FMCA member online portal – www.frva.com/drivequest -- and includes details and information about all the benefits and coverage that are part of the plan.

Don’t let RV troubles keep you from staying on the road and enjoying the exciting adventures RV life brings.
