I have a 2 yr old layton travel set up on my deer lease with insurance.Last week while clearing brush i had an accident and dropped a large tree on it , Now is this like full coverage car insurance and i just make my claim and pay the deduct or how is the process to get it fixed ?

Did you BUY full coverage on it?

If you did, then yes, damage by falling objects - like a tree - should be covered.

Say suppose a RV is way over the yellow line. An oncoming car is approaching and to avoid a head on collision, the car runs off of the road in a ditch, panicked, and jerked the car back onto the road and hit the side of the RV. Who's at fault? Or instead of hitting the side of the RV, what about another car and made no contact with the RV?
I had a close call one time with a car over the yellow line coming from the other side of a hill. I didn't have time to react or do anything. I'm just glad my car is small and I wasn't close to the yellow line at the time. See this question for more about it: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApbuXn5C_UwlKOJnWsZbqsnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090606152107AAr2YCD

The proper response to someone in your lane is to head as far right as possible while SLOWING to a stop if needed. (while flashing lights, sounding the horn and anything else possible to get the other driver to pay attention.)

Jerking the vehicle back onto the road is considered unsafe. If a vehicle leaves the road for any reason it should be brought to a safe stop and then slowly and gently returned to the roadway when it is safe to do so. A good driver is watching far enough ahead and has complete control over his vehicle and thus can avoid that situation without "panic".

Loss of control of a motor vehicle makes the person at fault under law. The driver who left the road could be cited for failure to control a motor vehicle! (Falls under Reckless Driving, or Driving as to Endanger depending on state.)

Insurance companies now operate under a percentage of fault policy. They would find the driver who lost control to be at fault, but not 100%. The other driver would be found partially at fault as well. If the RV was involved in the accident. If an innocent 3rd party in another car was hit, that driver would have no liability in the accident and the insurance company would find the driver who lost control 100% at fault.

HI,
I'm looking for the best place to rent an Class A 30 foot RV with out the crazy 2000-3000 dollar security deposits. So far i found two places that don't have them.

I found a few that have 500 deposits only. 500 is fine, but 2-3K is nuts when the rental itself is about $1100.

Im looking to go from DFW to ABQ, New Mexico (approx 1300 miles) Oct 2-5, would like pick up thur 1st, return monday 5th, 2009.

Also, any with unlimited mileage would be nice.

Thanks
Jason

We're renting an RV to drive out of state to visit family. A critical question I forgot to ask the guy who is renting the RV to us - will we be able to plug the RV into a standard home outlet? The rental guide says it comes with a 110-adapter, but it doesn't say how many amps. I'm not sure the house we're visiting has anything but common wall outlets, the kind you plug a TV or hair-dryer into. The rental office is closed today, so I can't call him, and we're leaving Monday. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Look for a label or plaque that indicates the cord's maximum capacity.

Our family camper truck had a regular (but heavy) 110V cord on it, to support the small fridge, TV, and a space heater. We just plugged it into a standard wall outlet in the garage when we were home.

I was thinking about getting a mobile home but I had heard that a mobile home mortgage is the same as a car loan. I found a mobile home for 115,000 would that qualify for a home mortgage since it is a very high amount?

A mobile home has axles and wheels and can be moved but is designed to be set on the ground and lived in. Usually a bank will lend money and you can get more money if you also own the land underneath the mobile home. This makes it real estate because the home is on a plot of land. The interest rates for mobile homes are higher than for stick built homes but do vary depending on your credit situation and credit scores.

A rv or recreation vehicle is a drivable vehicle that is licensed with the department of motor vehicles and more like a van or bus. You can sleep in RV's but they are not considered permanent housing.

I hope this helps

Truth is, depending on the size of the RV you want, you'll pay out the @ss. Typically it's $120 and up per day and you only are allowed like 100 miles per day. If you're planning on taking a trip, it's more economical to fly, or to BUY your own RV. How ridiculous is that? I've looked and looked to take my family on vacation but at those prices, it borders on ridiculous.

Try the largest and oldest for a comfortable rental. The two listed below are well recommended in the RV industry.

am doing a 2 week trip starting and returning to San Fran - want to hire a 4 adult birth luxury RV - any suggestions?

I see cruise America RV's everywhere.. They are all over Yosemite, the Napa valley, San francisco, the coast and on and on,but like one other answer, I believe you have to go to Oakland for the RV, but that is not far at all from San Francisco.
