National Interstate specializes in real full timers insurance coverages.
Same type of policy you would have on S&B plus automotive coverage.
We had our truck (full coverage/towing) plus 5th wheel (Home owners, replacement 1st 5 yrs/agreed value 6th yr, custom equipment, towing, motel etc.).
Based on our SD residency address......$1500/yr
We had 2 claims........during 7 yrs
1 was minor and 1 was major ---- both handled quickly, no hassles, straight forward with follow-up. Easy to deal with.
And NO they didn't raise rates on us due to claims.
About the 4 yr we thought about 'moving' to TX so we asked for new quote based on Escapees address in Livingston TX
Rates would almost double ----just due to TX vs SD address.
Asked WHY.......agent stated cause TX Ins. Commission sets MAX Rate Ins. Co. can charge so they charge MAX ??????
All I know is quote was ridiculous ----------same coverages/same policy just change of address.
Anyway......National Interstate. Good company/real RV FT coverage
Use a broker to get coverage
Explorer RV was our broker agent
Claims are handled DIRECTLY with National Interstate
