Chris,
I with "Allianz" through "Grey Power" (don't ask). You have to have a clean
slate or they won't take you.
I don't have "replacement value" or 19A or whatever. I'm still waiting to find
an appraiser who knows Westfalia Vanagons and will give me an honest appraisal
value.
Know of one in Ontario?
