I think it has a lot to do with the agent as well as the company. My MH was rear-ended by an elderly gentleman who mashed the gas instead of the brake when the speed limit changed fro 55 to 50. Appraiser (my company) had me take it to 2 different places for estimates and told me I could use either repair facility even though one was $3000 higher than the other. When I found out that it would take Newmar 2 months to make the fiberglass pieces, it was my agent who asked about my storage lot and who filed for 2 months rent loss of use. Never had an issue with my company and never had to talk to his about anything. They didn't ask for any sign off until I was completely satisfied with everything. Not all insurance companies are out to shaft their customers.
