insurance coverage

I am in the state of NJ, i have essentially called all Insurance agencies in the state and they told me no go for converted skoolie. Some have said that they need to be "professionally" built, while failing to give me the requirements or who falls under that umbrella. All the forums on here...

I’m currently on the hunt for a small skoolie. I’ve obviously heard it’s really hard to get insurance for a skoolie. I WILL NOT have a roof rack, roof deck, wood stove, etc and I do plan on living in it full time. Anyone have any suggestions on insurance? I reside in WA state. I do not want to...

I have a bus with no seats and seek to get minimum insurance coverage while I drive it for gas, to charge the battery, etc. I just want some coverage, rather than none. I bought the bus which was already registered in NJ and had an RV title. Earlier I read a suggestion that a Progressive...

We are selling our 35ft Bluebird TC2000 bus/motorhome. After 8 months of full-timing, we have settled down in Texas. Our family's time on the road is at an end for schooling purposes. This rig sleeps 3 comfortably (two bedrooms), and has securely-mounted seats and seatbelts for 2 passengers in...

Hey y’all! So, a couple of questions. Hubby and I have a bus, converted and registered as a Motor Coach in GA. We moved to CA. Husband wants to look into getting VT plates. Does he need to get insurance before applying for VT plates? I know that a vehicle is registered based on where it’s...

Hello All - I'm new here and new to the whole idea of bus conversion. I have not purchased a bus yet. Since I like to do my research first, I started looking into getting insurance. So far Progressive is the only underwriter I've found that will insure a Skookie, but the conversion has to be...

Hey Everyone, My wife and I are starting our conversion story. Like a lot of people we have been researching different layout ideas, products, and long search for a bus which we got at auction. the realization hit me that we hadn't looked much into the legal aspect of insurance and title...

We are about ready to move into our converted skoolie and are looking for insurance. We have registered the bus in Vermont as a motor home. I already have Allstate for my current car so tried them first but they said they don't insure buses, even though it's legally not even a bus anymore but...

Hi there, Fellow skoolie owner. My conversion is almost complete and unfortunately I am having a really hard time finding an insurance company that will quote me. My rental is about to end and I am counting on my bus to be my daughter and I’s future home, I cannot back off from this project...

Firstly, I should mention that I deal with technical/customer support phone reps almost every day as part of my job. They quality of service usually ranges from decent to unhelpful. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get my 2012 International 40' bus insured in NJ with plans to register in...

I recently bought a school bus and have started converting it myself, but none of the insurance companies I call will cover a converted school bus that's been made into a camper. I tried all the big name insurances and even a bunch of small ones that insure regular campers. One of them told me...

I just purchased a 2000 ThomasBuilt EF MVP at an auction, the us is still in its natural setting (still a school bus). I must have insurance with the bus named on the policy before I can pick it up from the school district yard and I cannot find anyone willing to insure it as a RV unconverted...

I heard bad things about esurance, and heck, most insurance companies on this forum, but I already had them so I tried anyway. I have a 2009 E-450 cutaway (StarTrans shuttle bus) that I said I'm converting. I've done nothing to update the title or anything Helpful lady says "we usually don't...

Invest America Ins 1 702 685 3888 They are based in Las Vegas. I don't know if they do other states. They were great to deal with and made the whole process very simple. They didn't ask for pictures or require a conversion be done first. I did have to provide my current insurance history...

So I just purchased a bus from Georgia I live in Michigan and I’m not sure what to do about insurance I’ve been calling but everyone I call doesn’t cover buses please help I have to pick the bus up next Tuesday

Hello, I'm Ravin René and I just purchased a 1999 Thomas international 444, that I declared my Tardis before I even purchased her. I have a couple of off the bat questions: I live in Austin Texas in an apartment complex that won't let me park the bus. Does anyone have or Know anyone in the area...

Hello guys! This is my very first post in this site! I was wondering if anyone had any advise or know what I need to do for my situation. I read somewhere on here that some insurance companies will only insure your skoolie if it was professionally done. Recently I've been seriously considering...

I'm new here. Great site! I'm in Oregon and looking for some fellow schoolies on the coast. I'd like to find free camping with other like-minded schoolie people. I hear there are many around Coos Bay, but a search for that turned up nothing. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I'm...

Hey guys just figured I’d share this I just went to the DMV and registered my six window short bus without converting its title to an RV, I told her it was only for personal use and there were no seats in it. She only asked for proof of insurance which I didn’t have but went and called Geico...

Just moved I can use my NC address or my moms Sc address which would be easier to register will I have to change my title? Anything helps thanks

I was freaking out in a bit after making the crazy impulse to buy a bus because nobody wanted to insure it. Luckily I found this guy by the name of Reed at Knapp Tedesco insurance in Ames Iowa. He pulled a few strings for me and manage to get me Insurance within 12 hours. I'm only paying $300...

I am an insurance agent and write for Liberty Mutual and just wrote my own policy. To my surprise we don't need photos, we don't need the conversion to be completed.. and our rates were really good! Our only real big rule... the skoolie can't be permanent housing. You need a legit permanent...

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I'm fifteen years old, and I'm hoping to build a skoolie in the near (ish) future. I have a couple questions. 1) how does one get insurance for an RV in Ontario? What does a bus need to have it's title changed to an RV? What kind of appliances (shower, stove...
