Somebody sed:

Then Pensylvania Chris sez:

Then I sez:

My Wolfsburg Westy, with the so-called "weekender" interior with no fridge,
sink or stove, is recognized by my insurance company as a "camper'.  My
insurance card says "Vanagon Camper".  The Westfalia badge says it's a
Westfalia conversion.  The badge near the passenger door of the vehicle says
it's camper.  So it's a camper.

As Chris suggested, the insurance adjuster ought to stand up inside and drop
the pop-top on his/her head.  Unless they are too short.  Then I might have
a few other suggestions.

Chris,

'85 Westy.
