But, you have to (1) argue with AAA each time you phone for a tow that
you are asking for a tow for an *RV* and not a mere car.  Then you
have to (2) argue again with the tow-truck driver (who could be out-of-
pocket $200 if he misjudges this) that you are having an *RV* towed
and not a car.  Ask us how we know* ...  :-(

The magic words we've found are:  (a) it has a sink  (b) it has a
stove (c) it has a refrigerator (d) it has a sleeping area.

My next campaign is going to be to persuade AAA to provide us with a
written document that yes, indeed, our Westy is the vehicle covered by
our RV premiums.


*the bad news is, we're not camping this weekend.  The good news is,
we didn't have to persuade a tow truck to come out to Indian Flats
campground to tow us to the repair shop.
