Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the list, and I'm wondering if any of your might be able to
help me.  I've just bought a 91 westfalia syncro that has the tiico
engine and lots of upgrades.  Consequently, the blue book value is a lot
less than market value (what I paid for it!), but my insurance company
(USAA) says I can't get it insured for any more than trade-in/blue book
price.  Their "specialty" insurance isn't an option either because the
van isn't old enough to qualify (must be 20 years old).  I'm getting the
van appraised so hopefully I'll soon have documentation that the van is
worth more, but I need to find a good insurance company that used
"stated value" or some other system for calculating the insurance value.
Has anyone else had this problem?  Can you recommend a good insurance
company that will work with me on this?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks!  Beth
