No, unfortunately, no insurance. We went through a lot of soul searching and rationalization before coming up here to do this. I got a few estimates elsewhere - none really much better than what it will cost here. I blame the PO and the original dealer for not really following up on leaks and fits before it came out of warranty. I did get a good purchase price when we bought 3 years ago, but now I am certainly at full retail invested. On the other hand, I now have confidence that with Airstream repair expertise, the trailer will last for a long time to come.

If I had tried to take the trailer apart myself, I might have broken something (like the wet bath) and I would never have found the source of all the leaks(like around the frig) like this crew did.

I figure it like this: Just have to travel a lot more time and trips to get the per unit cost down.

RV insurance policies, cover damages that are "sudden, accidental and direct".

Long term damages, as from water leaks, would be denied.
