    I've been with American Family for 38 years. Never really had any issues, except in 2011 and 2012. Fall of 2011 Hwy 41 was under construction in the Oshkosh area. Traffic stopped, I didn't stop in time, 7 vehicles involved. Nobody was hurt. My ZR2 Blazer was totaled. 5 months later I hit a patch of ice coming down the big hill outside of Fond du Lac. Slide across the road, hit a parked Ford. He stopped to help someone who hit the same patch of ice. My Ranger and the Ford were totaled.
    American Family didn't like that.
    I was put in a high risk group for 3 years. They also jacked my rates for 3 years.

    I now pay $362.00 / 6 months

    Swapping tires every 6 months is much cheaper than the whole truck!

    For anyone curious about the Milwaukee heater

    10/10 so far

    It’s also way quieter than I expected it to be.

    It looks like it would be pretty convenient if the ladder drops into the bed. Really thick though, must get 12mpg at hwy speeds.

    I don't think the RTT will like the chassis flex between the cab and bed. I am kinda curious which tent that is, that's one thick boi!
