Steve,

I totally understand the loss of sentimental value. Insurance won’t could not possibly cover that. But you have your memories and hopefully photographs. At the very least start researching what it would cost to find a new Westy to continue to love affair.

Never broke down on the road.  Of course, the insurance company will see things differently - pretty sure I will not get anywhere near what it would take to get an equal replacement, not to mention the lost sentimental value.

We had it since new and had a lot of great memories and trips in it ranging from the great lakes to the Southwest to California to Alaska and Canada.  A bunch of other stuff including tractors and a car we're also destroyed but this is the only thing I really had an attachment to.
