Topic: Insurance? Posted: 01 Mar 2019 at 12:02pm |
We got several quotes thru our independent agent and ended up with Camping World's coverage. Best price we found and most comprehensive (widest) coverage. DW was an insurance agent for 16 yrs.

Simply added coverage to our USAA auto insurance policy. Broad collision and comprehensive is all that was needed. All other coverage, such as liability, personal injury protection, etc covered under towing vehicle coverage, which in our case will be a 2005 GMC Envoy SLT.
Welcome! We pickup our new 179 10th Anniversary edition on April 18th!

A friend of mine worked as an assessor at an insurance company (State Farm or Farmers, don't remember which). He always changed insurance about every 5 years to get the best rates. I don't know if insurance companies still do this, but it used to be that the longer you stayed with them, the more disproportional the rate increases became.

Insurance is very convoluted and confusing. I have not experienced what Andy talks about and have not had State Farm since the 70s when they canceled me for frequency of claims. Based on deer hits and a horse:) Oddly I have found ties with insurance companies with each other, for example USAA and Progressive, also USAA and Collector's car insurance, not a lot of separation out there. Bottom line you have to go where you feel covered. But don't think they are so isolated and different.

I've been with State Farm since 1963 and have had very good service from them and few complaints. Their premiums are pretty competitive with all the A.M. Best A rated companies. They don't seem to be chasing away their older drivers.

I had been a USAA member for over 40 years but left them because of their almost 200% increase in premiums over about 2 years. that was home owners, trailer and auto policies combined. I called about the increase and they basically said tough stuff. No effort to help, nada. I have since dropped all insurance with them and combine Travelers and Progressive for the 3 and saved a bunch of money in the process. So their advertising about being a usaa member for life is just a ploy. Or maybe they just don't want us older policy holders. We are treated just like the under 25 bunch!

If you are going to get an umbrella, or excess, policy get one that covers all your personal lines coverages, such as your home, cars, etc., not just your trailer. Excess coverage is not expensive, but there is no point in only getting it for your Pod. You're just as likely to have something awful happen in your car, or your personal liability under your homeowners coverage.

If your doing insurance I would look at adding an Umbrella policy for $1million. If your trailer ever comes loose it can do a lot of damage to other vehicles in a hurry and a 300,000 policy will quickly get eaten up and you could possibly end up with judgments that will take all your assets. It is cheap to add and will also cover your auto and home.

I think I will be calling USAA and Progressive my next days off. I was surprised that they wanted almost as much for coverage for my 1992 Bass Boat which is 1/3rd the value of the R-Pod.
Well I just checked with USAA who now uses Progressive for RV and Motorcycle. I've had them both in the past. Surprisingly Geico had the best rates of the three.

Bundling the coverage doesn't necessarily mean that there are not several policies, but that you have all your coverages placed with the same carrier. Mike is right that bundled rates are usually better. Insurers tend to give you additional discounts for putting everything with their company.
An example: We have State Farm for our home, our two vehicles, and for our trailer. All are separate policies but are bundled together with the same company. The trailer policy is a completely separate policy from the TV. Our trailer premium is about $135 a year, but that's one of the benefits of living in rural Nevada.
