Hello,
I am hoping someone might have an idea to help my situation.
My Okanagan camper was in an accident and the other drivers insurance decided it was a total loss and paid me for it. They paid me less because i decided to keep it. they never gave me anything to sign other then a check. They did tell me they might put a salvage title on it.I live in California. California does not have title/registrations for cab over campers.
First question is how would they put a salvage title on something with out a title. They could not answer that question other then just wait to see what happens. My attorney had the same answer. My insurance had not the slightest clue. and Ca DMV has no idea either.
second question is my insurance told me they will no longer insure it if gets a salvage title. Anyone know of an insurance company that does insure salvage campers?
I have fixed the camper and you can not tell it was ever in an accident.
Thank you

No idea. But I would be curious how they are going to salvage title a camper with no title. Personally I would just go on with life until something happens with the insurance to make you do differently.

Carry on. The less you say the less they know and the short answer is there is no title therefore there can be no salvage title. Pretty simple......This happened to me once but there was a title. I refused to surrender the title and that was that. Carfax shows nothing several years later.

Since they never took possession or received a signed title from you, they can not issue a salvage title.

Find something else to worry about.
And stop paying an attorney?
And btw if a branded title was to be issued, you agreed to it by keeping the camper. That should have been in your consideration when negotiating the residual value of the camper that you deducted from the payout.

It’s a truck camper not a motor vehicle therefore no title. They don’t have titles for tents either

You don't get a title in most states, as mentioned. I bought one camper in Florida and got a Certificate of Origin from Lance. Looks just like a title, including a place to sign off a sale on the back. I also bought one in Delaware, and got the same Certificate of Origin from Lance as well.
I do not live in a state that requires Truck Campers to have a Title. I sold one of the campers a couple years ago. The Certificate of Origin was sufficient for the sale. If you do not have CoO, you should speak to the Manufacturer or the dealer where you purchased it originially.

Do truck campers even have VINs?
