Yeah, I heard about that, so I called my insurance company here in Texas
and they said, nope, it had to have tolet too.  So I called a local
Snake Farm office and was told that yes, they would insure it as an RV,
but only if I insured another car with them.  Ok, how about a quote
anyway?  Sure, $250 for 6 months, no collision.  Hmm.. I'm paying less
than that at my present insurance company (about $200).
