Essential RV Insurance Tips for Summer Road Trips

Summer road trips in a recreational vehicle (RV) can be an enjoyable way to travel, but hitting the open road without appropriate coverage can turn an adventure into a financial headache. Your motorhome or travel trailer is also your temporary home, and standard auto insurance typically does not cover it the way an RV policy does.

What RV Insurance Can Cover

RV insurance may cover various risks that come with vehicles you live and travel in. Harlan Insurance can help you secure an RV policy that may include:

• Liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage you cause to others
• Collision coverage for damage to your RV after a crash
• Comprehensive coverage for theft, fire or weather-related damage to your RV
• Personal property coverage for items stored inside your vehicle
• Vacation liability coverage for incidents that occur while the RV is parked at a campsite
• Roadside assistance coverage for towing, tire changes and mechanical help if your RV breaks down
• Accessories coverage for attached or installed items like awnings, cargo carriers and bike racks

Tips for Safe and Financially Secure Summer Travel

Review your policy before you leave home. Confirm your coverage limits, deductibles and any exclusions. If you are borrowing or lending an RV, verify that the policy extends to occasional drivers. If you switch to lay-up coverage while your RV is stored during other times of the year, make sure you’ve reinstated full coverage before heading out on your summer adventure. Additionally, ask about discounts for safety courses or low annual mileage, as these can reduce your premium without reducing coverage.
