Vegas Teacher Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hello Everybody Well I finished the school year! Social distancing and distance learning were interesting. I stayed away from the HDT site because as the school year went on I just kind of got a little tired of the whole thing and did not want to come off as a negative person. Anyway back in November I sold my trailer. It was going to cost more to fix than to what the entire trailer was worth. Today I called National General (Now Called AIS) to redo my insurance and they asked if I still had my old 2003 Fleetwood Pioneer Trailer. I said no and that is when issues came up. I am still waiting to hear about getting insurance on my 780 but They are not sure if they can insure me when or if I don't have my trailer. In Nevada my truck is tagged as a private truck, not commercial but I don't have the option to tag as an RV here. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Cory Ossana - Vegas Teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Phil reported he insured his with State Farm with a commercial policy for non commercial use. Stated very reasonable price.

I think that is good advice too. I think the person I had on the phone was stupid. She kept asking if it was a 5 passenger car? I didn't want to lie but I finally said sure if that works for you.

Imurphy907 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 I had a not for commercial use, commercial policy with Country Financial. Then moved to state farm. First as a commercial policy then got moved to an RV policy. Then after a month they decided they didnt like it as an RV and wrote the truck under a standard auto policy. None of these in the past or currently have any bearing on owning a trailer. While I have heard of some who require a trailer, seems silly to me.

Vegas Teacher Posted May 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks to everybody for the advice. It seems silly to me that the trailer has to be attached to the truck for the insurance to work. l want to be able to go "Bobtail" when I want to do a short overnight trip into California and not worry about not being insured. Many times I go to train my German Shepherds for a sport called Schutzhund / IPO and I make a run up to the central Valley near Delhi California. Currently I drive my Toyota Tundra over, but would love to drive my 780 over and park at Love's, sleep and come home. Especially now, I really don't want to stay at a motel with all kinds of unknown stuff lingering in the room... Anyway Thanks again for the advice. I am getting my tags and insurance worked out, so I can move my vehicle and get it checked over by True Blue Mechanics. If you remember from an earlier post I had a lot of B.S. happen a Volvo / TEC here in Vegas. I also saw a video from the dealership dash cam of another volvo owner, they pulled his truck into the shop and never touched it then tried to charge him for work they said they did. I will keep you guys posted and up to date on what happens. Later, Vegas Teacher - Cory Ossana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

house Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I had the same issue with the same insurance company, I just added a flatbed trailer to my policy that I had on my regular auto policy and they were happy. They just wanted a vin to put into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
