To YauMan Chan and others with the Westfalia Camper setup:

Move north where the sun is low and the snow is high. Here inCanada our '86 Syncro Westfalia is a MOTOR HOME , that is an RV. As a consequence our insurance is reduced and the insurance covers all of the camping gear: stove, fridge, plumbing, sink, propane tank, water tank, etc. The next time you see a Westfalia from the True White North, forget the funny location of the electrical hook-up, look at the CSA sticker (Canadian Standard Assoc. which is like your UL)  just behind the driver's door which states the Motor home
registration number....very valuable piece of plastic.

BTW in Canada, a Motor home can be a legal place of residence (like a snail).

P.S. In recent years, the EV camper (Westfalia or Winnabagle), which is also a Motor Home, have been required to post an exit sign over the sliding door.
