What Is RV Insurance and Why Do You Need It?

Your recreational vehicle (RV) is a major investment, and carrying proper insurance is an important part of responsible ownership. Herman Bell Insurance Agency guides Texas RV owners through their insurance options and helps them secure the right coverage.

Understanding RV Insurance

RV insurance is designed for recreational vehicles, including motorhomes, travel trailers, camper vans and fifth wheels. Unlike standard auto insurance, this type of coverage may account for the unique risks and uses associated with these vehicles, including occasional trips and full-time residency. A standard RV insurance policy may include:

• Liability coverage can help cover costs if you are responsible for third-party injuries or property damage in an accident on the road.
• Comprehensive and collision coverage may help with repair or replacement costs if your RV is damaged by a crash, theft, vandalism, fire or severe weather.
• Personal belongings coverage may cover the contents inside your RV, such as electronics, camping gear and personal items.
• Vacation liability coverage may step in if someone is injured at your campsite or inside your parked RV and you’re at fault.
• Roadside assistance coverage can assist if you experience a breakdown or need towing while traveling.

Why Do You Need This Coverage?

This type of policy is often essential for abiding by state laws, and can also help if you want coverage that goes beyond the minimum legal requirements. It can help you manage repair expenses, certain medical costs and temporary living arrangements after a covered incident. In addition, many lenders and RV parks may require proof of RV insurance before you can finance, store or park your vehicle, which means maintaining coverage can also help you meet those conditions.
