Trouble Finding Insurance for Custom Truck Camper

I purchased a pretty neat, used, truck camper that was custom built in 2002. I'm having trouble finding insurance for it though, because it's not a name brand. I could understand if it were some home-made looking thing. But this one is quite professional in appearance and function.

Does anyone know about this? I just can't believe there'd be no insurance out there for someone in my position.

Thx,
Matt

Here are some pics:

  • My car ins, Geico would not do it because it's not a name brand. Other companies, like RV America wouldn't either but I'll try your recommendation thx.

    It's worth it for me to insure $3500 or so as it would take a while to earn that much back up again. But I also like the emergency insurance too that pays for hotels etc, in case of damage while on vacation.

    I just thought someone might have heard of this problem specifically...
  • If it is 14 years old is it really worth insuring??? How much is it worth? Nothing wrong with used campers, mine is a 1998 and I intend to use it for many years, but for $3500 it is just not worth bothering to insure.
  • How about the company that insures your pick-up? Failing that try FCIS, Farm and City Insurance.
