Let's do some work on the road.

We are ready to explore our current home town of Lillington, North Carolina.  Though we have  always supported local business whenever possible, we haven't really familiarized ourselves with all that Lillington has.
We recently added our 1998 Coachmen 5th wheel to our insurance policy. After getting several quotes we realize the importance of shopping around.   Our friends at
AIM insurance might be one resource to consider. We were reminded how important it was to have coverage when the empty lot next to our house caught fire several weeks ago. North Carolina has been on high alert regarding fires as the water table had dropped significantly. We had just brought our 5th wheel home a week earlier and thought we would have it insured soon.
Seeing how rapidly the fire spread in just brush, made us realize waiting to insure the 5th wheel was not necessarily a wise idea. We tried several online insurance companies as well as our brick and mortar agency here in North Carolina. Seems most traditional insurance companies don't really want to deal with recreational vehicles and have them underwritten by other agencies similiar to AIM insurance.
LAst week when the tornadoes rolled through North Carolina, we were fortunate enough to be between their paths of destruction. One passed just 7 miles west of us and extensively damaged the city of Sanford. Another passed 20 miles east and destroyed the homes of two familes my wife works with. We were grateful the tornadoes missed us, saddened by the destruction of our neighbors' and friends property, but EXTREMELY glad that no one we knew personally was injured or killed.
Our 5th wheel came through the storm without a blemish. As concerned as we were, we also knew that having the coverage similiar to what AIM insurance
can provide brings some peace of mind.
We are off to do some exploring and will post our adventure here and on Blue Road Blogger
