Recreational vehicles, or RVs, are a popular choice for travelers who crave freedom, flexibility, and adventure. Whether you're exploring national parks, scenic highways, or tucked-away campsites, RVs offer a unique way to experience the great outdoors while keeping the comforts of home with you.
But owning an RV comes with its own set of risks. From collisions to theft or storm damage, the financial hit from unexpected events can be significant. That’s where Recreational Vehicle Insurance comes in — giving you peace of mind on and off the road.
Do I Need Recreational Vehicle Insurance?
If your RV is self-propelled (motorhomes, Class A, B, or C), most states require you to carry minimum liability insurance — just like with a regular car. However, because RVs are much larger and more complex than passenger vehicles, they often require specialized insurance policies.
If your RV is towable (like a travel trailer, fifth-wheel, or pop-up camper), insurance may not be legally required, but it’s still highly recommended to protect your investment and reduce financial risk.
Only a couple of states (such as New Hampshire and Virginia) don’t legally require insurance for self-propelled RVs — but even in those states, you may still be financially liable for accidents. No matter where you're based, it's smart to talk to an insurance agent about your state's rules and your personal risk exposure.
What Does RV Insurance Typically Cover?
RV insurance policies can vary depending on your state, the insurer, and whether you live in your RV full time or use it seasonally. Still, most standard policies include the following:
-
Liability Coverage – Covers injuries or property damage you cause to others in an accident.
-
Collision Coverage – Helps pay to repair or replace your RV after a collision.
-
Comprehensive Coverage – Covers non-collision events like theft, vandalism, hail, or falling objects.
-
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage – Protects you if you’re hit by someone without enough insurance.
-
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Pays for medical expenses for you and your passengers.
-
Roadside Assistance – Helps with flat tires, breakdowns, lockouts, or towing.
Always review your policy carefully and talk to an agent to make sure your coverage fits your travel style.
What Our Customers Say
Does RV Insurance Cover Water Damage?
Water damage can be tricky when it comes to RV insurance. Most standard policies only cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as from a burst pipe or severe storm. However, the following are typically not covered:
-
Wear and tear or poor maintenance
-
Manufacturer defects
-
Long-term leaks or buildup of snow/ice
-
Mold, mildew, or corrosion
If you live in your RV full-time, ask your insurance agent if it makes sense to bundle your RV coverage with a full-time RV or homeowners-style policy that may offer broader protection.
How Much Does RV Insurance Cost?
RV insurance costs can vary widely depending on:
-
The class and type of RV
-
How often you use it (part-time vs. full-time)
-
Your location and driving history
-
The value, age, and condition of the RV
-
Your chosen coverages and deductibles
On average, RV insurance can range from $500 to $1,500 per year for part-time users, and significantly more for full-time RVers. But don’t worry — you don’t have to hunt for the best deal on your own.
