Westfalia owners:

Here in Canada, all Vanagon Westfalias were sold with a CSA sticker
outside on the driver's side which states that the van is a certified
Motor Home. (CSA = Canadian Stds. Assoc., similar to UL = Underwriters
Lab.) When insured as a Motorhome (at a much reduced rate), the stove,
fridge, etc. are also covered. I don't believe that non-motor home
insurance covers these camper items, however, your home insurance policy
may.
