Subject:Upset in Canada (Ontario) about Westy Insurance
From:1980 VW Westfalia \"Pokey\"
Date:Thu, 31 Aug 2000 13:58:37 -0400

I am very upset at CIBC insurance. I insured my westy with them and was
required to PERSONALLY pay $175 (Canadian) to have it appraised by a third
party or I would not be insured against fire and theft. I went ahead and got
the vehicle appraised at which point they told me (ie: after the fact) my
vehicle cannot be insured because it is a recreational vehicle... even
though I told them on the phone it had a fridge and stove and pop top.

Calling all Canadians... who do you insure your westy with? Can you get a
"19A" policy to insure up to the appraised market value of the vehicle?

Thanks,
