Total Loss Accident

Yahoo Message Number: 56671
Our 1997 Country Coach Intrigue was destroyed in an auto accident. We are working with the insurance company and valuation company in determining a fair value for the coach. We are looking for help in proving that there is a significant difference between the Gillig chassis and the Dynomax chassis.
We believe there were some problems with the first year dynomax chassis (1998) but are looking for actual specifics on the issues/problems. Any information from former Country Coach employees would be especially helpful.
Also, we would appreciate a copy of the schematics diagram of the Dynomax (1998) chassis so that we can point out the differences to the valuation company.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I think you are focusing in an area which is best to a chassis engineer and trying to prove your 1997 chassis is worth more than a 1988 model is best done by looking at NADA values. It will show you in black and white which is worth more. If you are disputing the NADA data then you are fighting a losing battle.

You are best to focus in on the updates and repairs you have done to your MH; these areas which you can negotiate to a higher settlement. I was an trial expert witness and vintage auto appraiser for many years and I think you are going down the wrong path.
