Subject:Re: Insurance for multiple-Vanagon households ?

I am only driver in my home.  I did two things to make insurance almost
affordable.

My Porsche 911 and my VW Thing are insured for 7K miles / year or less.  At
the end of the year, I'll be asked my mileage and if it is high, I'll be
kicked into a different policy (but not asked to pay back fees).

My Vanagon Westy is insured as a motorhome.  The motorhome trick makes the
Westy extremely cheap to insure.  My insurance agent thought I was wacko but
she put it through anyway and it worked.  I heard this trick on the internet
and it was probably on this list.

I drive the Vanagon the most and it is the cheapest to insure by a long
shot.
