Steve and Rick have insurance through State Farm, and that is encouraging. The question that comes to mind now, is what replacement cost? If, God forbid, their trailer were totalled; is there an amount specified? If not, then would they determine the replacement by comparing sales prices of similar years/models as advertised on the net? Some of these are real bargains (at least in our eyes) - - I saw a fifties model advertised for $1000.00 recently. Some of the beauties like those who won best of show seen in the latest Vintage Club newsletter look to be worth well over $10,000. I sold Caravel to a couple who cleaned it up and advertised it for $15,000. My point (get back on the track pardner) is that if there is no up front value it would be a "they say" - "I say" contest even with good photographs. Like proud parents/grandparents, we all have those! Perhaps someone who has met this challenge will enlighten us. In the meantime I'm calling State Farm, thanks to Rick and Steve.
