After I told them I had the RV at repair shop and that the repair shop said the rails that the fiberglass is seated in was in tact and no signs of any spots were it was not tightly secured to the aluminum frame and that the roof was very solid to walk on.. I was told the office manager would have someone contact the shop.. The shop called me a couple days later and said they received a call from a man from progressive and that the man was very rude and was basically yelling at him, telling him that he was wrong and it wasn't until the repair shop told the man all the findings that he said. "I don't feel like paying to replace a roof on an old motorhome" ..
The repair shop told him that he works with insurance companies all the time and believes this is one that should be covered since all the elements and firmly secured to the aluminum frame.. And his experience.. The insurance guy said he would take a second look but that he again .. Didn't want to pay to get it repaired..
The repair shop said that the progressive man actually was very upset at the end when he told them that he just had a very similar situation that Allstate just approved.
I got an email saying after review the denial was still the decision....
I am so discussed and saddened by this ... now have to decide if there is anyway to get it repaired.. It was a dream to have an RV even an old 1993 ... And after putting some work into it.. It has kinda become part of me but I have to make the right choices.. We are on fixed retirement income so I need to find any valid options to get it weather worthy or walk away and take the loss for the amount I bought it for........I will still contact the corp office contact listed above and see what I can send to the Utah insurance commission.. But from above it looks like it's a standard denial and there is no real way for me to prove that it should be covered...
