Common RV Insurance
Policies
By Elizabeth Morgan
Recreational
vehicle (RV) insurance policies are more complicated than either
car insurance or homeowner's insurance policies. RV insurance
policies blend aspects of car and homeowner's insurance
to guarantee that all aspects of the RV are covered.
There are different types of RV insurance policies that
provide different amounts of coverage. Some basic policies
mainly cover the vehicular aspects of the RV, such as
collision and liability. Other RV insurance policies
also cover items within the RV, such as plumbing and
appliances. It is important that RV owners get as much
coverage as they can afford since RVs are both vehicles
and living spaces, and both aspects need to be insured.
RV drivers are required by law to have liability coverage,
just like people who drive conventional vehicles. This
protects other drivers that the RV may collide with,
ensuring that if the RV inflicts damage on another vehicle,
that damage will be paid for out of the RV driver's insurance.
Liability coverage is the bare minimum required by most
states.
Collision insurance covers any damage to the RV if any
type of collision occurs. Another important type of coverage
is uninsured driver insurance. This type of coverage
protects the RV driver from having to personally pay
for any damages to the RV done by uninsured motorists.
Total loss coverage ensures that if the RV is damaged
beyond repair, the insurance will cover the cost of its
replacement. This type of insurance protects the RV owner
from any liability for injury or damage that may occur
in the direct vicinity of the RV in a campsite.
Since RVs can be dwellings as well as vehicles, the
property inside the RV should also be covered. The law
does not require this coverage, but it is a good idea,
especially for people who live primarily in their RV.
RVs contain items that cars don't have, such as furniture
and appliances. If the RV is damaged extensively, these
items could require repair or replacement. Other items
such as plumbing and electrical components of the RV
can also be insured. Many people store things like clothes,
TVs, computers, and camping gear in their RVs. Just like
in a home, these items can be damaged or stolen while
on the road, so it is a good idea to purchase insurance
for them. Many RV insurance policies are designed for
people whose RV is their primary residence. These policies
cover all vehicular and home aspects of the RV.
RV insurance policies are complicated, but it is vital
that RV owners purchase the right coverage. The bare
minimum is not enough for people who live in their recreational
vehicle.
