HERO Maker Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Well, at least I have 2 months to find new insurance, but let this be a warning to probably everybody insured with Blue Sky. They are no longer going to insure the RV Industry. This could be state by state, but we are in Texas, in that could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imurphy907 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 There is already a thread about this. They are looking to find a new underwriter to cover HDTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennWest Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just renewed with Progressive no problem if your looking for options. Is yours insured as motorhome or truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just renewed with Progressive no problem if your looking for options. Me too, as a motor home through Lazy Days RV in Florida. It's insured as an Ohio vehicle. They insist that they also carry the 5er. I can bobtail all I want, and pull any trailer I choose, so long as it's non-comm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncohauler Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Is yours insured as motorhome or truck?Motorhome but they did insist on also covering my fifth wheel to make sure I had one. The rates are good so I gave them my boat and trailer also. I talked to them in January about bobtail and they said no problem, you just can't use it for any type of business use.

wildmandmc Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Had Blue Sky, until rate increase. Agent steered me to National, Blue Sky's Plan backfired on them with extra low rates an as trying to recoup they got burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtgeodog Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I had my American National policy renewed in Jan. with no increase in premimum or hint of cancellation. American National has an agent as a commercial member of Escapees. My Volvo motorhome and trailer are registered in Texas ShortyO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I went to quote it out at Progressive online and it kicked it out saying if it had a 5th wheel installed they wouldn't insure it. Hoping an actual phone call will be different since I'm sure I will be getting the cancellation notice in the next 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Heiser Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just added my new 5th wheel to my Blue Sky Policy. (I had removed my old 5th wheel in December when I sold it, but still had my truck with them.) I asked the question about Blue Sky going away. I was told Blue Sky lost its underwriter. They are in negotiations with three underwriters currently in an attempt to replace the lost underwriter. The people who are getting "cancelled" are those whose policies have recently come due or will be coming due in the near future. Blue Sky cannot write new policies because they do not have an underwriter in place. Those of us whose policies do not expire in the near future are good until the policies expire. Once the new underwriter is in place, Blue Sky will again begin writing/renewing policies. The agent I spoke with was hopeful that would happen in the next month or two. I am hopeful as well. My policy is good through the beginning of July so I have "some" time on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the quotes I'm getting for truck and trailer are $1800 range. My present policy also til July was little over $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Wright Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I obtained covered for my HDT today from State Farm (Indiana). It appears to be underwritten by Great Lakes...on the quote it says "Great Lakes Motor Home quote". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 We are also insured by State Farm in Va. But only for the truck. We went with Nat Gen For the 5er. Expect a serious rate increase next year due to the totaled 5er claim we made in July. But that will be OK because the 2017 5er cost me a $250 deductible.

RandyA Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just curious, has anybody ever tried Good Sam's insurance underwriter? They send me offers almost every week that I throw in the trash can as I am still Blue Sky until August 2017 (I hope). Lot's of big rigs go to Good Sam for insurance. I have been using RV America as a broker since 2009. They started me with National Interstate and then they found a better rate from Blue Sky about 4 years ago. The Volvo is titled/registered as a converted vehicle to a motor home/RV. When RV America was given photos of the truck with a fiver in tow and truck reduced to a single axle they were able to get me a lower cost policy from Blue Sky. They insure the Volvo and fiver as separate vehicles but on one policy. It is OK to bobtail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
