Motorhome Insurance

Replacement value, insurance company would be out less on your old rig.

Try National General thru Good Sam. 25 yr insurance agent before going full time. I'm happy with them.

We have Progressive insurance - full-time coverage.

Look how much more your insurance will have to pay out if something happens to the new motorhome vs the old. Perfectly understandable why they would charge more for the premium. If you are not full-time, do they allow you to put just storage coverages on it when you are not using it? If so, that can reduce the cost significantly.

Insurance rates are different State to State even with the same carrier!

I had Progressive on my older '94 Bounder and mistakenly thought I'd get a discount when I added my newer '02 Winnie. After all, I could only drive one of them at a time. But no discount, I discovered after paying up front.

I'd called them, expecting to get a couple questions asked, and I'd assumed I'd get a multiple policy discount. The salesman told me yeah, I was getting their discount. When I looked into it, turned out the guy was less then honest. They'd added a premium onto my two policies of around $225 or so over if I'd bought the 2nd policy separately online. Salesman's commission I'd wager.

Cancelled both policies. Cost me $60 to do that too. Came back a month later and bought just one policy online (and I'd sold the Bounder so didn't need a double). Still saved money over buying over the phone.

So I'd recommend you check for a policy quote online, do not mention you've got a policy with them (they ask that on the online form). At least with Progressive. I'd bet this is true for all insurance companies these days though.

If you call and talk to a real person, it's gunna cost you.

The replacement value from National General was a nice policy we had on our 5er, and it stays with you as long as you own your rig.

We bought this one used, and it just missed the replacement value mark, so we shopped and Safeco was the best for us. I splurged for no detectable on the glass.

That glass must be super clean if it's not detectable.
Aww........c'mon you guys, you know you wanted to do it.
