Fortunately, my Rural King is 1/2 mile from my house.

You'd be SOL if you came down here and the battery crapped out. No such store here. I bet there's a Walmart somewhere near your location. Gotta think forward, what happens if you travel?

Pretty simple, if the battery craps out, buy a new one. At that point, the battery itself isn't as important as to where it left you stranded, and a) if someone is near to give you a jump, b) you carry one of those badass little lithium ion jump packs from Costco for $60 or c) your straight SOL and have to hike out. I've already tested the jump pack in -3* weather the day before getting a new battery and it sits happily in my map pocket now since I frequent the woods alone. Unless a warranty covers a rescue vehicle that gives me a satellite phone for just in case it leaves me stranded, it's kinda a moot point. If you've ever been broke down or stranded I'm sure you'll realize you'd pay about anything for that one part to get you back on the road, and not thinking damn I glad I have a Walmart warranty....

EVERY ONE should have a lithium jump pack at this point. I've saved myself a couple times and saved a dozen (or so) people since I got it. I've had several people insist(Even after telling them "no thanks") on giving me $10-$20, probably paying for the jump pack... at some point I just started walking away so they couldn't shake my hand with money in it. One guy I helped was stuck for SIX hours in a busy Walmart parking lot, in FL's Summer...he was new to this country and didn't know anyone that could help him.

Carry a jump pack and help others, it takes 2 mins out of your day.

I said traveling not camping, you leave the beaten path no ones warranty is any good. It's nice to know I'll have a better chance of getting a replacement free. If you buy brand X and there is no brand X store around, your warranty is useless.

Just returned from my cottage and installed a Du-Ha underseat storage tray in my 2019 Screw. For those wondering if it will fit with an inverter, it does.....Mine has has the rubber floors and inverter so it was a a 5 min installation.....
