Here in Pinellas County, Florida, my Westfalia is titled as an RV.  The nice

Syncro Westfalia is a MOTOR HOME , that is an RV. As a consequence our
insurance is reduced and the insurance covers all of the camping gear:
stove, fridge, plumbing, sink, propane tank, water tank, etc. The next time

which is like your UL)  just behind the driver's door which states the Motor
