Insurance
hi Jon and all,
newbie poster and no BB ![]() just an admirer. ![]() anwho, we just went from a MH to a 5ver (7W) a couple of months ago as we prepared to change gears and go fulltiming. as of a couple of days ago, we are now house-free and loving it!!! if you're full timing, the only insurance companies that I've been able to identify are Progressive, GMAC, and Explorer RV (actually Explorer is an insurance agency and I believe most of their policies are underwritten by National (National Interstate, i believe). found only one positive comment from a person who filed a claim with Explorer/National the person was happy with the settlement on a vandelism claim on a DP MH, and the quick appearance of the settlement check. I haven't found anything negative about them from searching the yahoo groups and the web. from same searches, I had no problem finding negative things from RV owners about GMAC and Progressive and couldn't find anything positive about them. One thing I did stumble across is that National evidently writes (or wrote) a lot of commercial policies for 90+ years, including school buses, mid and large trucks... so they might really be favorable to BB's. Explorer/National on an annualized basis, was just about half on the preminum costs for the same coverage compared to GMAC and Progressive. (their quote was for a 12 month period vs. the 6 month for Progressive and GMAC). I think we're hesistant to jump to them only because the quote was soo low (fickle at times aren't we...) We still haven't made a decision (will within the week) on which one we go with. http://www.explorerrv.com/ I don't have any affiliation with any of these companies. if anyone out there has had any experience (claims) with any of these companies or any others insurers that would be nice to hear. A non-related comment. This is one GREAT GROUP. I really like seeing all the questions and varied responses each day. Maybe some day we'll be BB's too but meanwhile, I'll just sit on the side lines and learn the wealth that is shared here daily about RVing in general and BB's in particular. peace, Al (& rita) --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jon" > > I just got of the hoke with my Insurance agent and if the price of fuel > isn't high enough the insurance rates are going up!
