Dixie RV Forever Warranty
I got the forever warranty when I bought my new GD 5er. I get the inspections every year, as required, and have had no issues with my rv. For those who are putting it down, you have to read your contract that came with your unit. It states that the yearly inspections have to be done once a year. Which is very reasonable and sending in a copy of the same to NWAN. It does say that you have the option to use whatever dealership near you to have the inspections done. But you have to pay their rates for the inspections, whatever you agree on.
So long as the inspections are done once a year, then all the covered components are covered for repair or replacement. Inspection cost MUST be sent to NWAN to prove the inspections were done.
Happy Camping!

What happens to these forever warranties when Camping World purchases that dealership? GD wont be sold at that dealer, and they certainly wont authorize warranty work through them. I only ask since Camping World has been trying to snatch up the smaller dealers, most likely to drive out their competition. I have no data on this, I just know what I see; there was once X dealer here and now it has been converted to Camping World.

When I researched the Forever Warranty someone told me that you didn't have to have the annual inspection by a specific dealership, you could get it done by a certified technician but you would have to get pre-approval first.
I thought this was a great program for those that don't live in their RV but do reside close to a dealer that is "authorized" to do the inspections.
I didn't go that way because we are rarely near a dealer. I had no confidence that I could fulfill my requirements.Dallas

There is a dixie rv in NW FL which is within our "local area" and personally don't like them. We went in last year to look for a cheaper bunkhouse for the GF to put on a waterfront lot she had. The "cheap" price evaporated with all the fees they wanted to add. Bure BS. I also recall seeing them blatantly advertising the home of the FREE lifetime warranty. Don't see how something can be free if you have to pay for inspections.
Had as friend who bought an Avalanche 5th wheel there and had their service department try to install the slide awnings. I say try because after 2 aborted attempts with incompetent people, they gave up. Don't know what the problems were but a slide awning installation is a pretty straight forward thing, not overly complicated.
Sales staff are pushy and aren't interested in helping with information unless they think there is an immediate sale in the works.
The parts side had good helpful people though. I needed a low point drain valve for my 320X and one of the ladies rummaged around in the back and found an OEM valve which saved ordering one with ridiculous GD shipping charges or trying to rig a non OEM valve in with a bunch of adaptors.
Just my opinion based on observations. If GD Solitude makes the final cut in my 5th wheel purchase, it WON'T be at one of the Dixie stores.2020 Ram Laramie 3500 DRW

So far the experiences shared here is that no one had actually USED the warranty but has spent money to keep the warranty in place (yearly inspections).
