Wow! This is really odd! I just got back from a 5 hr. meeting with my
insurance broker trying to insure my '90 Westy (wound up not getting it
done - had to get back to work!). We were having trouble because the
vehicle is a conversion camper and therefore they had no way of assessing
the vehicle worth.

Has anyone else had this problem in Calif? Any recommendations for
insurance carries in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Thanks!

Chris
