Agreed value is a big deal. We have State Farm. Paid $235 for standard coverage. No stated value on our last 78 Royale. By the time that all the smoke cleared. ( GRIN ) We ended up with about $40,000. All did come out well at the end. As we then built another 78 Royale to perfectly match all of our needs/wants. We had no budget. So as to the money side. Big loose.
This Royale has fire protection. I bought them at the start of the build. BUT. You need units that stay charged. You MUST check them Often. Mine came from Jim Bounds. One of his units was discharged before I installed it. Just under 2 months. He wanted $75 to recharge it. Another one became discharged at about 7 months. Another $75 down the tube. The next one got to just over 2 years. The bright side is that the last one has remained charged. I now check them every month. I bought them for about $600. Though I'd get good protection. As I didn't buy them. To just buy them again. I need to find another supplier that will stand behind their product. If you got yours from Bounds. You need to go check yours. And in reality. All units need to be monitored.
It's been over 4 years. And the smell of burning wood brings back too many memories to this day. We love the 78 Royale we now have. It's how in one of our warehouses for a few weeks. Having it out of it's own place. Is driving me crazier then I normally am. I need get it back home next week.
