Finding RV Insurance Professionals for RV Travel with Kids

A good RV motorhome insurance policy is very important for all those who full-time RV travel with kids. Selecting a quality policy with the proper RV insurance coverage is extremely important. RV insurance professions from companies such as Progressive RV insurance and Good Sam RV insurance are a good place to start looking for your policy.

Why Buy RV Motorhome Insurance

rv-motorhome-insurance-01; up close view of RV motorhome windshield There are a few good reasons to purchase RV motorhome insurance (or insurance for RV 5th wheelers or travel trailers).
  • RV Insurance Policy Required
    • If you financed your rig or you call a state that requires insurance for your travel trailer your domicile, then you will be required to purchase RV insurance.

  • To Replace Home Owner's Insurance
    • If you are a full-time RV traveler, your rig is your home. The contents of your home (which you carry at all times) needs to be insured in case of theft, accident, fire, or other tragedy. And these tragedies do happen.

    Full-Timers RV Insurance

    The most important thing to realize when purchasing RV motorhome insurance is that many companies who offer insurance do not offer a good full-timer's policy. What's the difference? Well, a typical policy from a regular run-of-the-mill insurer will protect you in an accident, but does not cover very much. Remember, this is your home, not a weekend hobby.

    These typical policies cover very little in regards to your personal property should you loose it, and include major gaps on everything else. Make sure you are talking with a true RV insurance professional and get a full timers policy with some of the following types of coverages.

  • Higher Liability
    • RVs are bigger than cars. They can do a lot more damage. Make sure your policy has higher liability coverage than your vehicle on its own. It wouldn't be good to have your RV take out more damage than it was covered for.

  • Full Timers Insurance
    • Since your RV is your home, there are policy coverages that will allow you to basically get a mini homeowners policy that will cover accidents and injuries on your property, your campsite, and to others much the same way a typical home owner's policy will protect you. Not a full timer? There is another form of coverage similar for part-timers...ask your RV insurance professional.

  • RV Replacement
    • If you have a newer RV, under 5 years, you can add on coverage for replacement if your RV suffers from total loss. Since RV depreciate rather rapidly, this can be a good coverage to have.

  • Personal Belongings
    • Since you carry all your belongings with you, the contents of your RV are probably worth more than the contents of a part-timer. For those getting RV motorhome insurance, it is important to add on additional coverage that protects against the actual dollar amount of your belongings, not just a fraction of it as most coverages.

  • Emergency Expenses
    • This is the policy coverage that will cover your hotel, food, etc fees if something catastrophic happens to your home. This coverage is available, but the typical RV company will not offer it to you.
