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
