I know this question is a bit off topic, but I'm considering something similar with my Bolt and am a bit leary to move ahead due to insurance concerns. If anything happens to the vehicle while towing will the insurance company cover it since Chevy says it has zero tow capacity? How did you guys deal with this?
Great question. I can't speak definitively or legally, but we recently made a small claim on our trailer's policy after our tire blew out and did severe damage. The claim was paid promptly and efficiently.
Thanks for your speedy response. So you have separate policy for your trailer then? I am likely to be towing a small trailer with building supplies, motorcycle etc. I'm guessing that I'll be fine as long as the trailer itself is not the cause of an accident.
Yes, we do have a separate policy. It's pretty cheap for a little trailer like ours. I'm not sure when insurance coverage is available and when its not. You could definitely talk to an insurance person about it without any cost to determine your best approach.
No, we didn't! And the forecast now has the weather in the 90s! It's going to be toasty. It will certainly motivate the work required to swap out the A/C!
Crazy, huh! I was so sure the sewer hookups were standard that I didn't give it a second thought. I bought it, threw it in the car and then discovered it didn't fit. It took several days to figure it. I needed three different parts I didn't have to connect the gray water drain to the sewer hookup in the campgrounds. Fingers crossed for our trip this week.
It is common for Trailers to blow fuses due to heat, poor wiring practices, and cheaply made appliances. Check your fuse box as soon as something does not work and carry spares.
Also confirm if your AC runs on 120 or if it needs 240 volt. There are adapters from the 240 volt, 30 amp, plug that converts to two legs of 120 volt on the same phase. If you need 240 volt those 120 volt adapters dont give it to you.
It was great to see you at convention! Enjoy your new trailer!
Hi All,

Welcome to Florida!
Thank you. We are loving it here!
Hope you got the A/C matter resolved in time for this weekend’s outing!

Keep on Proving and Having Fun! Is there a way to ensure that you have the proper water hook-ups? Aren't they standard?

Great to see you, too. We definitely went to the fuse box first. We'll spend more time in there but it doesn't look good for the a/c. 😕
