Hi Jerry:
         I solved the problem by going to an agent that specialized
in Antique and RV vehicles and nothing else. There are caveats
though, the vehicle cannot be your only insured vehicle, you must
have house insurance (i.e. it can't be your only home) and you can't
use it for grocery shopping (i.e.daily chores) and various other
really small print items.
