Hi Volks,

Westy owners may be interested in this:
My '85 was added on as a motor home rather than a second vehicle.  It
was remarkably cheaper and is covered under a full coverage policy in
Los Angeles for about $350.00 per year.  I'm not aware of any mileage
limitations, since a motor home can easily rack up high mileage
throughout the year.  As many of you are already aware, L.A. is
considered a very high risk area, therefore the insurance is generally
higher.  The company that I'm presently with is Amica.

Thanks,

Tom
