Recreational Vehicle Insurance

Why Should You Have RV Insurance?

 

Because your RV functions as both a vehicle and a home, standard auto or homeowners insurance usually won’t cover it. RV insurance ensures your rig, your belongings, and your on-the-road lifestyle are protected—from accidents and theft to liability and living expenses during travel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What does RV insurance cover?

  • Liability (bodily injury & property damage): Covers medical and repair costs if you’re at fault in an accident.
     
  • Collision: Pays to repair or replace your RV after a crash, regardless of fault.
     
  • Comprehensive: Protects against non-collision damage like theft, fires, storms, vandalism, and animal strikes.
     
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): Adds protection when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.
     
  • Medical Payments: Covers medical expenses for you or passengers, after an accident—no-fault.
     
  • Personal Belongings: Covers items inside your RV—like clothes, electronics, cooking gear.

2. Is RV insurance required by law?

 Yes, in most states liability coverage (bodily injury and property damage) is mandatory for motorized RVs. For towed trailers, liability coverage typically falls under the towing vehicle’s policy. 

3. What optional coverages can I add?

  •  Roadside Assistance & Towing: Help if your RV breaks down, runs out of fuel, or locks keys inside.
     
  • Vacation Liability: Covers liability when your RV is used as temporary housing at campsites or parks.
     
  • Emergency Expense Coverage: Covers hotel, meals, and travel costs if your RV is uninhabitable due to a covered loss.
     
  • Replacement Cost Coverage: For newer RVs, this ensures you receive enough to replace the vehicle without depreciation.
     
  • Permanent Attachment / Custom Equipment: Replaces added items like awnings or satellite systems.

4. How much does RV insurance cost?

 Premiums depend on your RV’s type, value, use (part-time or full-time), driving record, and location. Discounts may be available for bundling, completing safety courses, or maintaining a clean record. 

5. Does RV insurance cover the vehicle while it's being stored or towed?

 Yes. Coverage typically applies whether your RV is parked, stored, or in transit. Some policies offer storage-specific options that reduce coverage when not in use.  

6. What isn’t covered by RV insurance?

 Common exclusions:

  • Routine wear and tear, mold, maintenance issues
     
  • Pest, rot, or mechanical breakdowns
     
  • Custom upgrades unless specifically added
     
  • Vehicles being used for commercial purposes unless additional coverage is in place
