mike69mackman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Got my yearly bill in the mail for my camper insurance. My premium jumped from 27.00 a year to 148.00. WTF!!!!! Now I only use my camper once or twice a year mainly to take to Dover del on NASCAR weekends. I'm having a hard time justifying that cost. So I called my ins co and told them to drop my coverage. Any suggestions for alternative ins coverage would be helpful. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29792-camper-insurance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike69mackman Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Cheaper using camper as most rooms are too expensive on race weekends. Prefer camping over hotel room anyway. Good suggestion though Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29792-camper-insurance/#findComment-161947 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Did you ask them why the massive increase and tell them you were unhappy and refused to pay it? Also I would not have dropped their coverage until you have new coverage, thats just asking for trouble. Shop around though. Did you have it through your own liability carrier for your everyday driver? How long have you been with them? Get a hold of your agent and scream bloody muder- tell him yer not gonna put up with that shit, that they have to sharpen the pencil or you are WALKING and taking EVERYTHING with you- the house, the everyday drivers, all of it.

David Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Give Progressive a call....The principles in Progressive are Obama supporters. Hence the name. They lost a lot of customers last year when that came out.

mike69mackman Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 My ins farmed out the policies to a third party provider. Policies are still through the co but Are underwritten by an outside co. Total bullshit! If your going to sell me a policy then stand behind it. I am going to shop around for new camper ins but progressive wont be one of them, being associated with Obama they probably have a ban on campers and rv's lol. Might even have to get a background check done. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29792-camper-insurance/#findComment-162035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Also with the massive amount of cars/trucks/etc that write damaged during Sandy, I expected rates on everything to go up. They have to get those millions back somehow.
