I pick her up on Friday, and a couple of questions for you

WELCOME to two new Followers:  PMichelleTaylor and CJsKidsClub.com!  Thanks for following Me and My Dog.  You don't list blog sites, so I'll just say welcome, and I hope you enjoy following along with me and Katie as we venture into Full-Timing!

I have an appointment to pick up the Sunseeker on Friday at 9:30 for the walk through.  Just to let you know, I had some comments concerning making sure the tires are good (by the numbers on the tires), the generator and other things working well, etc.  I talked to my Service Adviser yesterday and he said they put the new tires on when they did the first detail/check of the coach.  So they literally ARE brand new.  I asked him if they would make sure she was tuned up, had an oil change, etc., and he said everything is done before they put her on the lot for sale.  Everything on her, mechanical and otherwise, is examined and it has to be at least 80% or it's replaced.   I'm assuming that's why they put on new tires.  So that made me feel better.  They seem really service oriented.  Hopefully I'll feel that way down the road, but so far, so good.  In fact, I've been very impressed.  : )

I decided on Progressive for the insurance, mainly because the response was much quicker than the other carriers and the first year's quote was lower.  So that's done.

This is a short post because I have a couple of questions for you guys, and I'm not getting much from the forums I've checked.

I would like to get an extended warranty - the gal I talked to at the dealer is going to see what she can do to get me something less expensive, but I decided to get some quotes on my own. I've got one from Good Sam so far and it's much less than the dealer's.

I'd appreciate any comments about who you have, recommend, would NOT recommend, etc.  There are lots of sites when I Google Extended RV Warranty, and I'd like just three more quotes.  I'm not sure if the companies listed in my Google search are reputable.

One thing that bothered me with the Good Sam quote was that the last page is a disclaimer from Good Sam in large type that the insurer is not licenced by the State of California. These companies are called "Nonadmitted" or "Surplus Lines" insurers.   Any opinions about this?

I've submitted my application for a storage facility that is 1.5 miles from my house, that will be nice and close.  

I'll keep you updated as things progress. Should have more info tomorrow.

From me and Katie, have a great Tuesday, everyone! : )
