I post a link to a 68 Ford/Alaskan ad a few weeks ago, that user Rusty pointed out is asking way too much coin. The owner seems to think too so as he's since dropped the price to $11k. But, given this clean vintage and original non-Alaskan combo hovering just under 7k, he's still asking too much for that old girl.
This brought up a bigger question for me though: how do you insure your older Alaskan camper? There are plenty of threads on WTW about camper insurance: get it covered under your auto when it's on the truck, and homeowners will cover it when it's off. But these campers have been around since the late 50's, and while they don't get the attention that vintage Airstreams and Scotty's get, I'm sure well cared for or restored Alaskans must have some value that's worth protecting in this unpredictable world.
Let's hear your stories and advice on insuring older Alaskans. Has anyone had bad or good experiences with claims? Anyone have their camper become be a total loss due to a hail storm, a fallen tree, or road related incident ... only to have it under valued by an agent? Are there any lessons that can be shared?
