Introduction to RV Insurance

Owning a trailer can be a lot of fun and a great way to create new memories while traveling from place to place or permanently located in a park ready to use.

Your RV insurance policy protects you and your recreational vehicle from potentially large out of pocket expenses in the event of an insured loss or if you are at fault in an accident that causes bodily injury or property damage.

Talk to an Allen Insurance Group specialist and find out what policy is right for you. We have RV insurance coverage for many types of trailers that are used for your private pleasure purposes.

Stationary Trailer  – Non-Motorized

Park Model Trailer – This recreational park trailer is usually used for short-term periods situated in a park. This RV is designed to provide comfortable accommodation seasonally.

Permanently Parked Trailer – A park trailer is designed to stay in one area for an extended period of time. These trailers are usually of a larger size and permanently placed in an RV park with added comforts such as sunrooms, decks and sheds.

Mobile Home – A mobile home is a prefabricated structure, built in a factory on a permanently attached chassis before being transported to the mobile home park or leased land. This large house trailer parked in one particular place and can be used as a seasonal or permanent living accommodation.

Non- Motorized Trailer Insurance Coverage

Golf Cart liability

Personal Contents

Many trailer insurance policies provide coverage for damage caused by an insured loss that damages your personal contents normally used in your trailer.

For example; dishes, sleeping bags and bedding, clothing and gear usual to camping. Your primary home policy may also provide a special limit for these contents used off premises.

Replacement Cost

This option will pay to replace your RV in the event it is damaged by a total loss such as your trailer being blown over by wind gusts during the time it is being towed to your vacation destination.

Most companies will only offer this coverage if the trailer is under 5 years old.

Actual Cash Value

This option is the actual cash value, which is calculated based on the cost to replace your trailer less depreciation. The condition of the trailer just prior to the loss and the resale value of the trailer can be taken into consideration to establish the value for the recreational vehicle.

Additional Optional Coverage

Emergency Towing Coverage

This coverage will pay expenses for the cost of towing your trailer to the nearest or repair shop in the event of a breakdown or collision.

Water Protection Coverage

This coverage will pay expenses to repair damages caused by sewer-back-up from grey or black water.

Campervan

A campervan has a built in engine, commercial van structure with 4 wheels that provides both transport and sleeping accommodation. Campervans may be equipped either with a “pop-up” roof which is raised during camping trips or a fixed roof similar to a car van.

Motorized Trailer Insurance Coverage

Liability Coverage – This coverage will pay for the costs related to damages caused to a third party by you or your travel trailer. Liability insurance for your trailer is often covered under your automotive insurance policy.

1. Bodily Injury Liability Coverage – This coverage applies to an at-fault vehicle collision that causes injuries to another person. This coverage also helps to pay the expenses for third party medical expenses such as x-rays and treatment.
2. Property Damage Liability Coverage – This coverage will help prevent out of pocket expenses to pay for repairs to someone else’s property in the event of an at-fault accident causing property damage such as rear-ending the car in front of you on the road.
