MINE CAME FITTED, SOME DIDNT,BUY ONE WITH THEM FITTED IF ITS YOUR PREFERENCE..

The water storage in fitted on the left side (N/S) under the fitted units (there are two hatch door storage units, the water is underneath the rear of these two units below the swing out table) It is filled from the outside by an acessable locking cap and drained from underneath by removing a drain cap. There is also a water level indicator on the kitchen unit which consists of a series of LED's
As for double glazing, pretty much standard on Club Jokers (this was the top westy model up to year 88) which then turned in to the 'Atlantic' the top model repacement from 88 to 91. Not standard on California's I'm afraid! but was available as a factory option, therefore pretty rare (jason K has one)
In my opinion...double glazing is not as desireable as it might seem, these are 18 year old plus PLASTIC double glazing units very much like the ones found in caravans..they can be damaged easily and being plastic are prone to scratching.
Insurance is the same, you will find that it is best going with a company that 'understands the scene' perhaps Adrian Flux.....but whoever you choose is likely to be a specialist insurer and not mainstream.
