Insurance needs and Choices Part II

Insurance needs and Choices Part II

So I've started to look into insurance for our soon to buy 5^th. Wheel. All I want are some quotes so I can compare to see who has the best rates and best coverage. Fat chance this is going to be easy. Tried searching the forums, of course everybody has an opinion and no two of them can agree on which company has the best deal. I guess it really is a personal decision. I did find out the big players in the insurance business isn't always the way to go. 

I started my search on Sunday night, knowing nobody would give me what I wanted right then. I filled out all of their forms and hit submit. I was expecting a full in box when I got home Monday thinking with today's economy the insurance companies would be crawling over each other for new business. How wrong I was. Not one of them responded to my request for information.

I did get a phone call Monday from one company wanting to discuss my needs, but I was in a meeting and didn't take the call. I have a problem with a company that doesn't listen to what I'm saying. I was very clear on how I wanted to be contacted and by phone was not the accepted way. That's why I included my e-mail address with instructions stating to send the information to that address.

Maybe its just me but if you can't or won't follow my instructions I guess we will not be doing business together. My research in the forums found that Good Sam seems to be the best at rates and coverage. No Good Sam doesn't really sell RV insurance, they out source to another company. But with the Good Sam name on it they want to make sure RV'ers are happy with the product. So my search continues and I'll let you know WHEN and IF I can put this little piece of the puzzle to rest.

Last weeks blog post had a sentence in the last paragraph that said.

Anyway, we have narrowed our choices down to just a few and still have time to refine the list or change it completely by the time we are ready to get on the road.

I put that in there to let people know I'm Done looking. I've seen enough RV's to make an intelligent decision on what I'm willing to live in. Well guess what, seems there is another 5^th. Wheel out there that needs a look or two. While reading the forum at IRV2 somebody brought up the Forest River Heritage Glen 327RES. Of course I had to look it up. Seems it is just about the same as the Wildcat 327CK. There are some differences good and bad. But the bad aren't that bad and the good are a lot better than I can pass on.

They are both built by Forest River. The Heritage Glen is classified as a Lite while the Wildcat is not. The quality seems to be the same, and the Heritage Glen will carry 905 more pounds than the Wildcat. Just what I need, to tell Barb she doesn't have to sell or donate as much stuff as I thought. I guess the hunt continues.
