You are right about the extended warrantee on a fridge. The fridge is the single most expensive item in the rig. After looking at a lot of units I was seeing prices of $3000.00 to over $4500.00 for some of the newer fridges.

In our old "training" rig we had a fridge give out on us. It cost me $100.00 for the repair. The extended warrantee took care of the other $750.00 it cost to put in a rebuilt cooling system in the fridge. For that purpose alone I'll buy a extended warrantee. I just won't buy it from a RV dealer. I can buy it just before the factory warrantee runs out from other sources. I don't like paying for 2 warrantees on the same rig at the same time.
