Before You Start Shopping

To make your RV insurance search as smooth as possible, it helps to start with a little prep work. Answering a few key questions can save you time and ensure you find the right policy for your needs:

Do you have a motorhome or a travel trailer?

• What type of motorhome or travel trailer do you have? Including the make, model, and VIN number.

• The current value of your vehicle

• Where do you store your RV?

• Does your loan require you to have certain deductible or coverage limits?

• Are you a full-time RVer or casual user?

Knowing the answers to all of these questions will not only help you find the right insurance policy for your needs, but it will make shopping more efficient too.

What coverages are "must" haves?

While coverage plans may vary from RVer to RVer, there are some coverages that are consistently recommended across the board.

Comprehensive Coverage - protects your RV for events beyond your control like theft, vandalism, weather-related incidents, and more.

Collision Coverage - repairs or replaces your RV if it's damaged in an accident with object or another vehicle.

Roadside Assistance - tows your RV to the nearest repair facility and can cover fuel delivery, mechanical breakdowns, flat tires, and battery replacement.

- If you have a motorhome, this coverage is legally required to protect your vehicle on the road.
