Today i fired up the generator! Left it at idle for about 5 hours, no load. Tomorrow I'll drain the oil, and change it, even though the manual says nothing about break-in time....
This is a pic of the flooring almost completed: I'll trim the insulation edges, and install a quarter nose on the exposed lengths, if any. I'm thinking I'll do something where the tiles meet the carpet, bullnose of some sort...

You'll get your cancellation letter in a few weeks. Congrats on your temporary policy though. You'd think they'd have updated that crap by now!

We've all had. I went through Good Sam, got Progressive and got my cancellation notice 2 weeks later.

while keeping my fingers and toes crossed, i called cust. svc: they're telling me there is nothing wrong with the policy, so there should be no reason why the policy should be cancelled, and i specified many times it's for a bus conversion, as i stated during online application. So, with that said, and with what you guys are saying in mind...i'm gonna go to the DMV as quickly as i can to get my title changed lol, then IF the policy gets cancelled...i'll re-do stating it's for an RV ;)

let's see if that loop-dy loop works!

Hope i don't need to...anyone else had it done that way?

Wasn't trying to jinx you at all.
Progressive's own site says right on it that they do not insure bus conversions.

I'd been searching for insurance online for over a week. Nationwide gave me a policy that they cancelled ten days later. State Farm picked me up on a normal policy and it's been about a month. It doesn't seem to make sense.

I think companies just don't want the liability....even if that is their job...[emoji19]
