"RV" insurance is a completely different animal than auto insurance. RV
insurance includes some features of a homeowners or apartment dwellers
insurance as there are different liability and theft issues. The Westy
does not qualify as an RV per the IRS code mostly because it does not
have permanently installed toilet and shower facilities. As for the
cost, RV insurance is usually reasonable since RV rarely get into
accidents. Progressive is the biggie on the RV world. Go to GoodSam.Com
or Go Rving.com to find other sources. Most RV insurance companies cater
to the club members.

I contacted my insurance company (State Farm) about covering my 85 Westy
as an RV and the agent told me that they no longer offer RV insurance
because of the "hassle" it became...or some such reason.I live in MD and
use another car as a daily driver and a truck for a stuff-hauler.
Does anyone know of another reputable Insurance company that offers this
kind of policy.

Thanks, Tracey
