Vehicle insurance is available THROUGH AAA in Washington State.  I have it.  But it is not AAA insurance, like I had in Oklahoma.  It is with another insurer.  AAA only acts as an agent in Washington State, not as an insurer.  In California, Oklahoma, and a few other states, AAA not only sells vehicle insurance, but the vehicle insurance they sell is a AAA policy.  If you bought insurance through AAA in Washington, look at your policy.  It is not issued by AAA.  The AAA agent and I had a lengthy conversation about that.

AAA club membership, so far as I know, is available in every state.  I have AAA Premium in Washington.

Washington State considers my camper to be a van, not an RV.  They registered it that way.
