While you may have a reduced rate, do you really have RV insurance? When
you rent a camping spot, you are now liable if someone gets hurt on that
spot. Does your insurance cover that? Ask your agent to show it to you
in writing. This is just one example of the differences of RV insurance.

I have had Farmers insure my Westy as an RV in the past.  American
Express does so for me now.
Good Sam is also an excellent source.  Whether your Westy is
"officially" an RV according to
the government is a moot point.  All that matters is whether the
insurance company believes you
use it only that way.  If they do, they can rate it as an RV, and the
insurance is MUCH less
money.  Remember, if you drive it to work and such, then you shouldn't
get this rate.  We use
ours exclusively for camping.

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.
