Subject: [A/S] RIP Marge the '65 Overlander

> On Thursday while traveling through northeastern Wyoming, Marge, my '65
> Overlander, was destroyed in a single-car accident. I've spent the last
> 20+ months restoring her from the ground up. Marge ended up on her roof,
> flattened like a pancake. Edna, my trusty Ford Expedition TV, did a full
> roll and landed on her wheels. Remarkably, the 3 humans and 2 dogs inside
> Edna escaped with only minor scratches. However, both Marge and Edna are
> a complete loss. I'm still digesting everything - mortality, the forces
> that allowed everyone to survive, and what to do next. Marge was my home
> and had been for the last 2 years.

> So here's why I write: Considering all the time and money I sunk into the
> renovations on Marge, I want to be sure I get as much from my insurance
> company as is possible and fair. I had "full timer's" coverage through
> Progressive. In early discussions with them, I feel as though I'm about
> to get low-balled. The verbiage on my coverage says "the lesser of actual
> cash value minus $500 deductible or $30,000, whichever is less". I had
> originally setup the policy for "agreed value" but I didn't get an
> appraisal to them in time and they converted it to this "actual cash
> value" deal. Seemed like a minor difference when they announced it but
> now it seems like a VERY big deal in terms of what they're going to pay
> me.

> Does anyone here have experience/information they can share about how to
> maximize what I'll get from Progressive? There's no way I'll be made
> whole because I spent WAY too much on my renovations. But, I'd like to
> get as much as is fair and reasonable, considering my situation and my
> coverage. Aside from the chassis and the external skin, I've replaced
> everything and upgraded whenever possible - Xantrex SW3000
> inverter/charger, flexible solar panels on top, electric leveling jacks,
> custom cabinetry, etc, etc (Yeah, I completely went overboard :) )

> Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me navigate these waters!
