I hope this will be seen by those who really need to be involved with me in this quest.
I looked and looked and could not find a Forum on RV Insurance...if anyone knows if there is one, please PM me and tell me how to locate it, and I'll have this Thread deleted... I started one in another Forum, but realized today that it is for Airstream MotorHOMES...and doesn't reach the masses of us who have trailable coaches.
I would like to know if anyone has information on insurance for FULL-TIMING. In other words, NOT for full-timing when you have a "Garaged-Address" (back home somewhere---where you keep all your furniture, etc...and have that insured too.) NO...what I'm talking about, is when you "downsize" and do NOT have a 'garaged address" anymore....and are in your Airstream 24/7---24/365. Good Sam requires the 'garaged address'...and so does the insurance company I have had for 27 years (one of "The Big 3"...but, my company requires the 'g.a." too.
I've been told there is one called "Foremost". Does anyone have any knowledge in this area.
On a light note of this subject, I just wanted to share this. I've just 'coined' a phrase about insurance...
WHEN YOU HAVE IT...YOU DON'T NEED IT...
WHEN YOU NEED IT...YOU DON'T HAVE IT.
I've also heard, one rate is if I fulltime in it or not & I think this is about the coach itself...& then, the question would be... HOW MUCH ARE THE CONTENTS COVERED FOR?
i.e.,
I found that fulltiming you get only 20% of the value of the whole rig; i.e., a coach value of $20,000, you'd get $4,000 in contents covered.
When I was told this, I squeeked..."my computer and audio/visual equipment are worth that much alone!...what about my clothing, kitchen equipment, linens, cameras, etc.?"...and they said,
"well, if you have a "garaged address" those items would be covered under that 'umbrella'. " The 'garaged address' you can have any amount you want to pay for (so much money per $10,000 worth of 'contents'.)
BUT, WITHOUT a 'garaged address"...that means all you have is in your coach...OR, you have some things in a storage locker somewhere. AND
I found that if you have items stored in a storage facility, the insurance there maxes out at something like $10,000---and it's very expensive.
To me, this is all very discriminating AGAINST those who sell off everything and 'hit the road'. & by that, I don't mean, as a "snowbird" who usually have a home to go back to once a year,,,
,,, moreover, I'm referring to those who live 'fulltime' in one park for a few months---chasing the sun,,,with no 'home' (house) to go back to, but rather, have excess items in storage somewhere.
I haven't yet looked into what Foremost &/or Progressive quote for their rates for these variances. All I know is that State Farm will NOT cover much for me to 'hit the road'. & I've been with them 27 years.
(Got to call my agent again---I've forgotten almost all he's told me. He'll prob be happy to have me switch, just so he can stop repeating these coverages to me all the time.)
OMG!
This one (below) must of happened when the owner was 'catching a few winks' by the side of the road. Wal*Mart was just too far away.
