Recreational Vehicle F.A.Q

If you store your RV in a shed or detached garage, it may fall under the “additional structures” portion of your homeowners’ insurance.  

Why your recreational vehicle deserves its own RV policy

Most are unaware that their RV is not fully covered by a standard auto policy. To ensure you and your recreational vehicle are best protected, a standalone RV policy should be considered to avoid any coverage gaps.

Some benefits of an RV policy are increased personal property coverage, pet injury coverage, and agreed-value coverage.  These policies also include their own bodily injury and property damage limits should an accident occur while the RV is in use or being driven/towed. With these factors in mind, contact us to get a quote on your RV today.

How much does recreational vehicle insurance cost?

There are several key factors that will determine the cost it will take to insure your RV, such as:   

  • Recreational vehicle type, year, make, & model  
  • Policy details (types of coverage, limits, & deductibles) 
  • Your driving history   
  • Vehicle usage (seasonal v. full-time resident)   

Ask your SouthPoint Risk agent about insurance discounts that you might be eligible for.  You may receive a discount for insuring multiple vehicles or bundling your RV policy with other policies. 

What’s the difference between recreational and full-time RV insurance?

Recreational insurance is ideal if you do not live in your RV full time. It will protect your RV inside, out, and while on the open road.  

If your motorhome or travel trailer is your primary residence, then you’ll want to get full-time RV insurance. It’s similar to a recreational insurance policy but you’re able to add on additional coverage such as personal liability and loss assessment that covers RV association fees to help pay for damages to shared areas.  

What’s the difference between motorhome and travel trailer insurance?

Motorhomes are a trailer with an engine that can be drivenThere are three different classifications (A, B, and C) based on the size of the motorhome.  

A travel trailer does not have an engine and must be pulled by another vehicle. Both insurance policies help protect different types of recreational vehicles.
