XtraRide service contracts are vital to keeping RVs in good condition and ready for their next trip no matter if it’s across the city or across the country. An estimated three out of ten RVs have a major breakdown by the second year in operation, and eight out of ten by their fifth year1. For RV dealers, these enhancements will help gain additional trust and higher customer satisfaction levels from clients who wish to protect their new investment from expensive repairs and costly breakdowns.

“Today’s RVs are built with some of the most advanced and sophisticated parts and technology, and it is imperative to keep things in proper operating condition for recreational use,” said Bill Koster, vice president – specialty products and training, “With this is mind, Protective is proud to enable its dealers to offer enhancements to the RV XtraRide service contract program so that customers have peace of mind knowing their RV is protected against the costs of unexpected mechanical breakdowns.”

Additional enhancements are included for eligibility requirements and terms. Modified marketing and training materials are also available for dealers. To learn more about XtraRide enhancements, click HERE.
