Just a follow-up on my post, my new policy becomes effective on Friday, March 1st. Total cost is $899. I had to call Progressive today to cancel my existing policy effective March 1st.

We'll, the person on the other end of the phone attempted to persuade me to stay with Progressive allowing her to look for ways to reduce the premium from $2900 to something lower and more affordable.

I was adamant that I am done with Progressive because of the way they treat their long term customers by gouging them even when they have never filed any claims, had any accidents or traffic tickets, etc. ever.

I am so tired of dealing with these scumbags who all they want to do is rape you over the coals because you are such a good driver and never make any claims. When they should be going after the people who have multiple accidents, collect many traffic tickets, and submit many claims, etc.

So as a parting gift, I filed a claim with them to have a new windshield installed next week by RV Glass Solutions in Lakeland FL.

End of rant!

That claim you are filing for a new windshield might come back to bite you, insurance cos all know about claims made from other carriers.

If in FL you should not have a deductible to contend with, for windshields, read the policy!

 Is your policy and Agreed Value or an ACV policy?, big difference between what might be paid out in a loss situation,

I agree with Ivan in the use of the washers, especially with the ss rivets needing much more force to install, possibly the cause of the cracks, jmho

 I agree you need the washers but you also need SS washers ti match the SS rivets, other wise you have dissimilar metals touching, yu can also buy some plastic washer for the same purpose, go to aircraft spruce, theuy have all kinds and sizes of rivets washers, and aircraft hardware.

Sounds like Ivan is right on about the force needed to install SS rivets leading to the cracks. 

If you are going to keep a spead sheet of what your toy costs you, per mile, camping etc,  why bother is my question? it is what it is and the numbers will only make you start thinking, is this really worth it?, enjoy your toy , I never keep a spread sheet, it will make me sick, I do keep receipts and keep them, only to have them, I really do not want to know the real cost of fuel, etc for a trip I just enjoy the journey, the cost is not going to change, you still have to pay the bills. But then this just me, I am not one to fret over every penny unless I can deduct it for tax reasons.

I have speny my money on RV's boats, airplanes and women, the rest was wasted.

Be safe out there and have fun, Fins UP!

I had that happen a loud screeching sound from the engine, turned out it was the starter not disengaging, the culprit was the key in the ignition switch was loose and if you wiggled the key the noise stopped, tow bill, $900.00 to the nearest shop

2004 Monaco Dynasty. Found 2 of these on the ground in front of the passenger's drive tire.

They are made of hard plastic. Any idea what they are? 

I am thinking they blew in from someone's trash.
