HORRIBLE END to a great day and a new sled…

You beat me to it! Won't stop until somebody makes the mistake of bringing in a live horse. Which will be beat to death, and then beat some more...
In the end Logan Coach decided they did not want to build a lightweight prototype trailer, prefering to stick with their tried and true current weight setup.
Wanting to pull this trailer with a F150 and not with an F250/350 we were not able to go forward with the project.
I expect us to be working together in 2024 on a regular weight trailer if all goes well.
Well that’s obvious but the logic is what I’m curious about. Example-one legged tie down is plenty, sled won’t fall off. I’m too lazy to get back on the trailer. I lost my tie downs. I only drive 15 mph. The trailer is too short to tie down the rear. I’ve never had a sled fall off a trailer, therefore it will never happen. pick one or come up with a new one. This is information that shedders need to know to avoid this same mistake. haha dead horse
FREAKING INSURANCE COMPANY.
So the adjuster just called.
They want to Total the sled.
BUT.
They do not want to cover ANY items that the dealer installed on the sled, regardless of the fact that they were all ordered directly from BRP as part of the Spring Snow Check last March. that amounts to around $5K in accessories and upgrades.
Now the battle begins.
I sent the dealer invoice, with all parts to my insurance agent the day I bought the sled and instructed him to write me a policy that covered the entire sled for the final $25K purchase price. THe adjuster says the agent failed to properly list and itemize the additional items so none of them are covered.

Agent is going to bat for me with Corp.
But now the issue of the EXTENDED 2YR WARRANTY has popped up for the Spring Snow Checked sled.
Same thing we do on our sled deck.Can I make a suggestion Chris? I am not trying to be critical, just trying to help. It look like you have a square tubing centre beam, maybe even Channel iron. I would avoid securing to the suspension frame that high up.
If you can rig up a way for your ratchet strap hooks to attach under the trailer or on the side rail, you can avoid tying down that far up, there is a good chance they will loosen up there at the back.
So what I do is have my ratchet strap over the top of the rails with a rag or something to protect the strap from chafing, I hook to a tie down point down low close to the rail. The other end goes under the structure and when tensioned it pulls down hard and has little to no side movement.
I use that method tying down on my sled deck, There are ratchet strap tie down points already welded on the rear.

The tie downs? Beat beat beat dead horse haha
wait you're considering buying another trailer from people who think clamping down one outside edge was enough? hmmm... I might be going after their insurance company! wow
Careful with that 'glove box', I would expect it to rip them straps off like a band-aide if ya corner hard with that sum-bitch loaded up, good lord!

that is part of the plan as it now stands.
But they have not made me a buy-back offer as yet.
true enough, but honestly, it comes as NO SURPRISE at all.
There was no way any Ins. Co was just going to write a check without at least TRYING to get away with some shenanigans..
