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.

How did you get away with this? I have called just about every insurance
company I can find and they tell me my Westie is a car because it does not
have the plumbing for a toilet. My wife and I are getting ready for a
cross-country multi-month trip and would like to get what is known as
'full-timers' RV insurance so that our personal effects are covered and we
have personal liability (like having renters insurance for your car).
