David, Interesting...

While I was not outright canceled by my carrier, I did get a big song
and dance from Farmers when I tried switching to them from AAA. They
claimed that b/c the title was "salvaged" it would be difficult to
impossible to insure.�  AAA never cared. Also, I am just carrying
Liability and no replacement value. They eventually agreed at an
increased price to open a policy.

Oddly, or maybe not I can see why cars get salvaged to start with, based
on the insurer not wanting to fix it due to high cost especially when
you have inflated claims by shops !

Maybe this comes back to them not wanting to insure your Westy knowing
it would be expensive to fix if there was a claim ?

Then I got a letter that they no longer considered my Westy insurable and are dropping coverage effective the end of the month, no further explanation given.  I am now  searching for other carriers.  Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.  Any suggestions for a new carrier are appreciated.
