  1. Interesting Jim. I just changed to Progressive from National General through Miller Insurance. My contact was Roxanne Sutton. I specifically asked her about bob tail coverage and was told there were no restrictions. They did have to cover the trailer also but it is a separate policy. Wonder why a difference? I did also speak with Grace Street at Lazy Days in Florida (same company Rick is using) and she was quoting me a Progressive policy but it was the same rate and coverage Miller quoted so I stayed where I had been for the past 14 years.
  2. Thanks Chet. Always a teaching/learning experience with you. I so much appreciate it.
  3. I am electric over hydraulic. Interesting finding on your forensics. Makes sense though. I’ve ordered a new switch and when installed will tear apart the old to see if what you describe might be a reoccurring issue. If so two solutions come to mind. 1. Slip a pared down popsicle stick between the contacts to let them cool for awhile, then quickly change with the plastic plunger. OR 2. Put an on/off switch on the 12 volt wire. (Not ideal but should work).
  4. Chet, Reason for replacement is the “plug” connected to the lanyard has become fused to the body of the switch so I can’t pull on the lanyard and remove it. Going to probably have to put vice grips on it to get it out. Want to have a new one available cause I’m sure it’s probably going to break. If so couldn’t I just cut and connect the two wires to complete the circuit, reconnect the battery and test with the clamp on meter?
  5. I have a 2017 DRV trailer that has a two wire emergency breakaway switch for the brakes. It’s the one that has the lanyard that activates the brakes if the trailer becomes disconnected from the hitch. The present factory one is ESCO and I’m wondering if a generic, Curt, or Hobbs replacement should work (I can get those locally)?
  6. Good reminder, Rick. It’s okay to build outside the box but the further we stray from compliance the more we place ourselves on the radar for regulation. Sooner or later it will bite us on the backside.
  7. New myth to discuss. Wheel bearings on a trailer need to be repacked every other year.
  8. Rick, Allstate cancelled a homeowner’s policy we had in Texas for a broken window claim. We had been with them 20 years with only one other claim 5 years prior for hail damage on roof.
  9. I switched because my agent since we bought the truck said National General (our previous insurance) was probably pulling out of Tennessee for conversion coverage.
  10. Rick, Let me know because I’m now with Progressive. I also have the tow insurance. Be careful, my agent said it is filed as a claim against the insurance and may result in them considering non-renewal.
  11. Yes and Kenworth and Volvo have speced a truck for folks we know specifically to pull a fifth wheel and be registered in their respective states for that purpose. So should they not be covered because Kenworth and Volvo mainly build commercial vehicles? Jack Mayer and RVH are ordering trucks and purpose building to not be used commercially. So I think the point I was making still has validity. Plus, I still would bet Prevost primary market is still for commercial use. In fact they sold shy of 400 commercial buses to New York State in 2023 with an option for more. https://prevostcar.com/. BTW you do know Prevost is owned by Volvo Truck Group?
