Not so Good Sam

My insurance company would only help pay for labor invovled in the repair not parts. It was going to be a debate as to weather the accident cause the radiator to go or normal wear. The radiator shop said the aluminum core had detereated that it just happened to go at the time of the accident. I thought somthing struck it during the accident. They said they would help with the cost of tow, it cost me 478$ and claim has been filed. With the accident occuring my only thoughts were getting it home. To be honest with you I didn't know towing was cover with my reg insurance. Now the coach is home I replaced the radiator myself it was a job but done correctley and it's ready to go again. the coast to me was 825$ plus the tow 470$, which I hope I get some back. worst case it will cost 1295$ for a brand new installed radiator. I don't think a shop on the road would do it for that. One gentelman stated it cost him 5,200$ to replace his
