Nothing stopping you from creating a few listings around the country on Craigslist for free.

id tell them to replace my trailer with one of equal value , and not budge , i dont see a trailer depreciating in value by more than 15, percent quite honestly . unless youre using steele trailer for salt water use . remember they aint going to just give away the farm .. you have to hold youre ground .they will pay they got it ,, they are making more money now than ever before .

Put the name of the insurance company on here and other boating forums. The internet is a great tool for getting the word out on companies with poor customer service. I'll still tell my Progressive horror story any chance I get.

How much do they want for the salvage? There is usually room to negotiate the value and salvage. I'm in the insurance industry and would suggest finding as many trailers similar to yours for sale to document the value. You can also contact several manufacturers for their opinion. If they are willing, get it in writing. As someone else previously stated I would try and find a carrier who will write it as a stated/agreed value for your next one. The one thing I would not do is create an adversarial relationship with your adjuster or the carrier. It won't make the situation better. Hope it works out for you.

I have been very very patient My shop says he has been one of the worst he has worked with. I have tried my best to be obsequious as possible. I sent docs today and next step is to try and work down their salvage value. Either way its becoming an expensive accident.

Once they cross the line and you've realized that you have no recourse short of a lawsuit that would be expensive and a gamble, it's time to minimize the damage and give fellow boaters a heads up. JMO

This is listed on this site. Not sure what brand your trailer is, but thought this was a great deal.

Claim Closed - Would only split the difference on the salvage, came up $625 on the trailer value. Lesson learned. Be careful of low spots in the road.

Thanks for all the input.
