Understanding RV Warranties
Often a new RV comes with a manufacturer’s limited warranty and individual component warranties. The base warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for a set period and may transfer to a second owner. Structural warranties may cover the chassis, frame, walls, and roof for longer durations. Appliances and components like converters, refrigerators, and air conditioners often have separate warranties.
Reporting issues during the coverage period ensures repair is honored. Always follow your RV manual and warranty instructions to avoid voiding coverage due to misuse or unauthorized modifications.
Authorized Service Requirements
Many manufacturers require warranty work to be completed at an authorized dealership. Southern RV provides comprehensive warranty repair for nearly all components and most RV manufacturers. Follow maintenance schedules, document issues promptly, and avoid unapproved modifications to preserve coverage.

What’s Covered vs. Not Covered
Limited warranties generally cover defects in materials and workmanship, not normal wear and tear. Damage from accidents, misuse, neglect, or unapproved modifications may not be covered. Routine maintenance and consumables like tires and brake pads are typically the owner’s responsibility. Extended service contracts may broaden coverage to mechanical failures.
