P35 Customized Step Van

[spinspirit]

:huh:  WE have purchased and are refining th einterior to suit our needs. But Im sure we are going to have ongoing questions. For one, Insurance....  and secondly, registration in Calif.

She is 1972, and the Ford 351M wqs bunk, so we are replacing with a remanufactired 351M, New Clutch, Radiator, and well, a bunch of stuff. We are perplexed about the rear and rear side windows, they are single piece, no slide, so ventilation is a concern. WE removed the A/C unit on the roof, and replaced with one of the smart fans. (im in Calif and the Van is in Alabama... so I have yet to put my hands on it). We dont know whether to go commercial and use it in conjunction with our Partnership business, including logo etc... or try and register it as personal RV and still use it accordingly. Then there is the whole insurance headache. I want to carry only what is required, absolute minimum. But who? It seems who ever we contact wants to turn this whole thing into a VooDoo cant insure it, w t hell people. What insurance companies are suggested? I will transfer all of my vehjicles to a single carrier. If GEICO wont do it, I am done with GEICO.... who do I call? ALl help and suggestions are appreciated.

If you go back in Bob Wells' videos he interviewed a fellow dweller who sells insurance. And gives his contact info at the end. Hope it helps you out.

i can't really offer much help on the registration insurance/issue. other than i have seen discussions about getting commercial vehicals re-titled as recreational if they meet the states requirements. normally requirements may include things like needing to have a bed fridge or certain other specified amenities to qualify to be re-titled as a recreational vehicle. requirements may be different from state to state and will likely require a inspection and other hoops to jump threw.

mostly im just posting to say that step van is freaking awesome.
