Pacific Northwest Appraiser

Hi Folks

I am hoping someone can direct me to a Trailer appraiser hopefully in Oregon.

I live in southern Oregon. I am coming up on the end of a deep renovation of a 1973 Tradewind. It is pretty high end and I am need to establish value for insurance purposes.

I do appreciate the help

Tony

Suggest you contact Jim Polk:
Buying & Selling Archives - Outside Interests

He can prepare a detailed appraisal report based on photos and owner supplied info. Cost is $250.

That is a great lead Just what I needed. I would love to get the Tradewind insured properly before I run it down the road. I am not going to do my own propane and need to get it to a shop.

Thanks BambiTex

Any other suggestions?

Tony -
I was pleased with my dealings with:
Duke Charpentier
Specialty Vehicle Appraisal
510 SW 34th St.
Vancouver, WA 98660
360-693-4993
www.vehicleappraisers.com
It helps the appraiser if you supply information about what modifications have been made to the trailer and can supply costs for labor and materials involved.

I am also in Southern Oregon (Grants Pass) and never got a reply from Polk... evidently too busy, I guess.
Please let me know if the other recommendation works-out, since I am in the same boat (complete resto/upgrade). Cheers!
