    Anyone have luck insuring a self build for full timing?

    I had a Nationwide agency in Kentucky and a Allstate Agency in WV and they would not insure a self converted van or bus. Some times an agent will insure you even when he is not supposed too and then if you had a claim it would almost surely be paid.
