Just got my annual renewal notice from The Hartford thru AARP for our Dutch Star

You might look into changing your RV insurance over to the Hartford thru AARP. They are now including Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA) and RV towing in their RV Insurance at no additional cost.

My annual premium at renewal is $841.89. It went up from $705.47 last year. That's almost a 20% increase with no claims last year, but with them now including ERA and towing, that's still a good deal.

Cheers!

We also have Hartford. I did an insurance check up last fall to see if I could find cheaper, and I couldn't. So, we're staying with Hartford, but I'm going to keep Coach Net, also. We've also had a claim with Hartford, and they were great to deal with.

There are so many variables that go into insurance pricing, so Hartford may not work for someone else, but they definitely are worth looking at.

If you look around, you'll find that almost all insurance policies nowadays have emergency roadside assistance, but I don't think it includes RVs. Still need something like Coachnet or Good Sam.

I have a Progressive RV policy and the Roadside assistance and towing is 16 dls. a year, and the whole policy for full coverage, stated value, is $540.00 a year for my coach!
You don't list the year of your DS?
I had The Hartford for many years, and when my policy started going up, for no reason, I switched!
It seems that all Insurance Co's do that, and if you don't check around every few years, they will go up?
When I got my Toad, a 2001 PT Cruiser, I called Progressive, and they quoted me double what Liberty Mutual was?

For the same full coverage policy?

There are App's now that check all the Co's prices for the same coverage, and quote you the cheapest! Very easy to shop! Rail!

2001 Dutch Star 3891. 3 years ago Progressive went from $850 (roughly) a year up to almost $2000! No claims, clean driving record, no tickets. Called them, no explanation except "lots of hurricanes"!

Went to The Hartford. Two claims in three years, one for windshield, one for awning damage. Great claims service, couldn't ask for better.
