What is the truth?

I put my tailgate thru the front baggage compartment door. Good Sam insurance says the door is one price (below my deductible) but Camping World says it is three times more. Tomorrow I intend to find out who is right.

Having dealt with insurance companies before I got a hunch but we will see. My Good Sam renewal is due in two weeks but I'm already getting notice of cancelation warnings like threats. Depends what happens tomorrow I may let the threat become reality as I change companies.

Hopefully I will know in the next day or two.

  • Good news! After making a few phone calls, Good Sam will cover any cost over my deductible. The man that sent me the low ball quote admitted he had no clue what door he was quoting. Not sure why he even sent a quote?

    Now if they follow thru or not we will see. I hope they can be trusted. I tend to trust people until I get burnt so hopefully all is well.

    Admin, sorry I missed the phone call but I believe it is well taken care of.

  • I have $500 deductible and thot the door would not be enough to meet that so I called Camping World to order part. It was then that they quoted a high price that was well over the deductible so I thot I would get insurance involved. Insurance said the price was well below the deductible while Camping World, who would fix it says no way.

    Who do I believe? If I can get it replaced at the insurance quote it is less then $300. Great! If in fact it costs over $900 which Camping World claims getting it directly from Keystone then ouch!

    Is Camping World taking me for a ride or is Good Sam quoting me some used inferior door to keep from paying anything? Or a combination of both? Hopefully I will know by tomorrow evening. We will see...
  • Why are you shopping parts? Insurance will pay to repair your unit. Have it taken to a body shop. If the repairs cost less than the deductible, you will pay in full. If the repair costs exceed the deductible, you will pay the deductible. If you put the tailgate thru the door, there is likely additional damage to the area where the hinges connect to the trailer body. Plus, isn't the door painted to match the unit? Your insurance should cover all those additional damages and costs of installation and repair.
