Warranties & Extended Warranties
When you buy a leisure vehicle from a reputable dealer, it will often come with a standard dealer warranty. This typically provides short-term cover against certain mechanical and electrical faults that may arise shortly after purchase. The length of cover can vary, but it is commonly between six and twelve months. A dealer warranty is designed to offer reassurance that the vehicle is in good working order at the point of sale, and it usually covers major components such as the engine, gearbox and key mechanical systems. However, the level of protection, claim limits and included parts can differ depending on the dealer and the vehicle’s age.
Our extended warranty, by contrast, is designed to provide protection beyond the initial dealer warranty period. It can offer longer-term cover for a wider range of components, helping to manage the cost of unexpected repairs as your vehicle gets older. Pegasus Extended Warranties can be tailored to suit how you use your motorhome or campervan, whether that’s occasional weekend trips or longer touring holidays. The key difference is longevity and scope, while a dealer warranty offers short-term reassurance, an extended warranty is about ongoing protection and added peace of mind as you continue to enjoy your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a vehicle warranty?
A vehicle warranty is a form of protection that helps cover the cost of certain repairs if specific mechanical or electrical components fail. It is designed to provide reassurance against unexpected repair bills after you’ve purchased your motorhome, campervan or caravan.
Warranty cover varies depending on the policy, the age of the vehicle and the level of protection selected.
Q. Is a warranty the same as insurance?
No. A warranty is not the same as motor insurance. Insurance covers risks such as accidents, theft or damage, and is a legal requirement for vehicles used on UK roads.
A warranty, on the other hand, helps with the cost of repairing certain mechanical or electrical faults. It is optional and focuses on component failure rather than accidental damage.
Q. What does a standard dealer warranty usually include?
A standard dealer warranty typically covers major mechanical and electrical components for a limited period after purchase. This may include parts such as the engine, gearbox and drivetrain.
Cover length is usually between six and twelve months, and the level of protection can vary between dealers. Always check what is included, what is excluded and whether there are claim limits.
Q. What is an extended warranty?
An extended warranty provides cover beyond the initial dealer warranty period. It is designed to offer longer-term protection against unexpected repair costs.
Extended warranties may offer broader component cover and longer durations, helping you budget more confidently as your vehicle ages.
Q. Can I take out an extended warranty on a used motorhome or campervan?
Yes. Extended warranties are commonly available for used leisure vehicles, subject to age, mileage and condition.
Eligibility criteria can vary, so it’s important to check whether your vehicle qualifies and what level of cover is available.
Q. Are leisure vehicle repairs expensive in the UK?
Repair costs can vary widely depending on the fault and the type of vehicle. Motorhomes and campervans combine automotive and habitation systems, which means repairs can sometimes involve specialist parts and labour.
A warranty can help manage the financial impact of unexpected mechanical or electrical failures.
Q. Does an extended warranty cover habitation equipment?
This depends on the level of cover chosen. Some warranties focus mainly on mechanical components, while others may include elements of the habitation area, such as appliances or electrical systems.
Always review the policy details carefully so you understand exactly what is and isn’t covered.
Q. Can I include an extended warranty as part of my finance agreement?
In some cases, the cost of an extended warranty can be included within your overall finance package, subject to eligibility and approval.
This can help spread the cost rather than paying for protection separately at a later date. A member of the Pegasus Finance team can explain the available options clearly so you can decide what works best for you.
Q. Is an extended warranty compulsory?
No. An extended warranty is entirely optional. It is simply one way of providing additional peace of mind once your initial dealer warranty has ended.
Q. How do I know if an extended warranty is right for me?
This depends on factors such as the age of your vehicle, how often you plan to use it and your personal approach to budgeting for repairs. Some owners prefer to set aside savings for maintenance, while others value the reassurance of having protection in place.
If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to explain how warranty options work so you can make an informed decision.
