I my experience [2 totals in 2 years] get the van professionally appraised by an auto appraiser and take that to the insurance company. That is the only way.
I have AAA best coverage and they wanted to give me 2500 for mine. fought it by doing my own local market equivalents which equals finding three comparable vehicles in my area and submitting the ads. I got 5700 instead.

Well Im dumping some coin into the 85 Westi and I want to make sure it is properly covered and not a total loss IF it may ever need it. For the last 5 years Ive
only had PLPD. Whish is the basics since I really didnt worry about cracking it up. If I did I would do a buy back and swap the usable parts to the next Victim.
But now that Im doing a motor conversion added a bunch of goodies and made it into being worth just a bit more to replace. Its crossed over to a big loss if it
gets toasted. So Ive presently got Hagerty Classic on All my other VWs including the 84 non Camper. But the 85 Westi is on standard Insurance with my Wifes
Honda. The Honda insurace is a bit lower since Ive got multiple vehicles on that policy. So Im looking for the insurance company to "Understand" it would cost
Quite a bit to "Replace" and that it is Only driven Occationally ( Mainly Camping and going to the park ) and not a Daily Driver.
So Any company suggestions? Goods and or Bads. 1st of this week I will be contacting the company Im using as well as hagerty but I dont think Hagerty will do
any thing.
I also dont want to start a Insurance Fight on the list so Be Nice!! Just looking for the goods and bads before a Tree Falls on it or someone runs the Ol Red
Light.
Thanks Jonce
