I am in Las Vegas so I am very interested in this process. So, when you did all the insurance work, did it not matter that it was registered as a motorhome? Was the commercial for personal use policy because they wouldn't do RV insurance? From what most people seem to be saying insurance only cares about VIN not how its registered. I am trying to get a policy in a hurry as I want to bring a bus up to Las Vegas from Arizona in the next couple days. I have USAA as well (30 years, home, auto, etc) and already went through the USAA-progressive-commercial-USAA loop with of course no result. To be honest, this is the first time they let me down. Great company and never had a problem with them. But, as soon as I mentioned bus/RV/personal commercial they just turned their back on me.
Did the NG commercial policy actually work? Do you still have that insurance or did they drop it after a few weeks like I keep hearing? Do you have a contact at National General Commercial? I would like to call them today.
Thanks and keep up the awesome transformation.

USAA doesn't do anything over 10k lbs.
I am with Progressive commercial. National General will, in theory, take care of me once it's converted. I got the progressive policy thru AIS after getting the right person on the phone (at least 3 tries). Below are my notes on insurance:
AIS Insurance:
commercial policy for personal use - incl. bus conversions
pay in full 595 300K NO LIMIT individual items
they said no the first time because they thought it was converted because the seats were out, not true
(88
772-4247 Marie Ruiz ext 78802 written with Progressive
Placed thru Silver Key Insurance Agency,
Underwritten by United Financial Casualty Company
should be fine til convert, then National General will do it once it’s self contained.
pics with basic, fake, conversion has worked for others, not recommended!
Best Options for post conversion:
AIS personal, not commercial and National General
