I have my motor home insured with Progressive. Great insurance as long as
you do not need it. I struck an on object and cracked the rear cap. They
refused to pay what it would cost to do the repair properly, (replace the
cap) and even gave the shop a hard time wit the cost of cut out, patch and
fill the fiberglass. I had a thousand dollar deductible and then they
raised my rates 50% due the at fault accident. First claim with them in 7
years. And yes I have full value coverage so plan on them repairing it no
matter what.
Also read your contract carefully. There may be restrictions on usage. I
can't even let my brother borrow the RV.

As far as a replacement value.......if you want a higher one, just let the
insurance company know up front and raise the premium value.
You will pay more, but be covered for what you feel comfortable with.
I had my 91 Syncro Westy appraised and have it covered for a replacement
value of $50,000.
I have 4 late model Syncro vans on one policy with Progressive and it is
roughly $2200.00 a year total.

Your insurance agent should be able to give you name of at least one
appraiser who would be acceptable to your insurance company. Appraiser
who did my '84 Vanagon specializes in antique cars. While he did not
come up with the value I would have liked, it was far better than the
used car book.

Wondering if anyone has gone to the trouble of getting an independent
appraisal of their Westy or reg Vanagon. I have an 85 Westy that
we've put a bit of $$$ into, including the Gowesty 2.3 engine and want to
minimize the chance of lowballing insurance companies should the
unthinkable happen. My insurance guy said I should get an independent
appraisal... then they would cover the vehicle for that amount instead of
the
Bluebook value.Anyone have experience with doing this? Recommendations
on places to go?
