Service/Warranty & Service Contracts

Warranty repairs, factory or extended, without the runaround.

We sell extended service contracts, we're an authorized shop for the major administrators, and we handle manufacturer warranty and insurance claims — including the phone calls. The contract you buy from us gets repaired in our own bays, so a claim never means waiting on somebody else's shop.

Three kinds of coverage

What's covered, and by whom

Extended

Extended service contracts

Yours or ours. We confirm coverage before we schedule, file the claim, and bill the administrator directly. The one we sell is RV Guard by DOWC. Service contracts →

Factory

Manufacturer warranty

Newer rig with a factory warranty and the selling dealer four hours away? We perform factory warranty repairs for most of the industry — directly with some manufacturers, with prior authorization from others. See the full list below.

  • Winnebago, Forest River, Keystone, CrossRoads, Dutchmen, Alliance — direct
  • Thor, Jayco, Heartland, Highland Ridge, Grand Design, Brinkley — with authorization
  • Component makers: Lippert, Dometic, Furrion, Suburban
  • Same techs, same standards as customer-pay
Insurance

Insurance claims

Storm damage, roof damage, awnings taken out by a tree, hail, collision on the house side. We write the estimate the adjuster needs and work directly with them.

  • Photo estimates for adjusters
  • Supplement requests when hidden damage shows up
  • Direct billing where the carrier allows
  • Body and paint referred to partners

How a claim works

Four steps

Call with the contract

Have the contract number or policy handy. The service writer confirms coverage before we schedule.

Diagnose

Mobile or shop. The diagnostic is billed at the labor rate; most contracts cover part of it.

We file it

We submit the claim, argue with the administrator so you don't have to, and tell you exactly what's approved.

Fixed, billed direct

Approved work is billed to the administrator. You pay your deductible and any difference on the diagnostic. That's it.

About the diagnostic fee. Administrators often reimburse less than an hour of diagnosis. When that happens you'll owe the difference between our rate and what they pay — we'll tell you the number before we start, not after.

Manufacturers

Who we do factory warranty work for

Two lists. The first group lets us open a claim and start work on our own. The second requires prior authorization from the manufacturer, which we request for you — we've done warranty repairs for every name on both lists.

Direct — no pre-approval needed

We file it and fix it

  • Winnebago towables
  • Forest River — motorized and towables
  • Keystone RV
  • CrossRoads RV
  • Dutchmen RV
  • Alliance RV
Prior authorization — we request it for you

A short wait, then the same repair

  • Thor Motor Coach
  • Jayco and all Jayco-family brands
  • Heartland and Highland Ridge
  • Grand Design
  • Brinkley

Authorization usually takes a few business days. We handle the request, the photos and the paperwork; you don't call anyone.

By brand

Most owners know the brand on the side of the rig, not the parent company. Find yours here — the tag shows whether we can start directly or need authorization first.

Don't see your brand? Most manufacturers will authorize an independent shop when the selling dealer is far away or backed up for months. Call with your VIN and we'll find out in a day.

Questions

Coverage FAQ

Which administrators do you work with?

The major national ones — call with yours and we'll confirm on the spot. If we don't have an account with yours, we can usually set one up for a covered repair.

My RV is still under factory warranty. Do I have to go back to the dealer I bought it from?

No. For Winnebago towables, Forest River, Keystone, CrossRoads, Dutchmen and Alliance we work directly with the factory. For Thor, Jayco, Heartland, Highland Ridge, Grand Design and Brinkley we get prior authorization first — a few days — and then do the same repair. Either way you skip the dealer's backlog.

Does maintenance affect my coverage?

Almost always. Contracts require documented annual maintenance; skipping it is the most common reason for a denied claim. Our annual service exists partly for this.

Have a contract?

Call with the contract number and we'll confirm coverage and book it.
