Personal coverage

RV Insurance

A recreational vehicle is both a vehicle and, often, a home on wheels — and California requires liability coverage to drive a motorized RV, while lenders require full coverage on any RV they finance. A dedicated policy protects the vehicle, your belongings inside it, and your liability on the road, covering risks a standard auto policy simply isn't built to handle.

Who this coverage is for

This is for owners of motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and camper vans who use them for road trips, vacations, or even full-time living. It goes beyond a basic auto policy because an RV is both a vehicle and, often, a home on wheels.

What it can help protect

RV insurance can combine coverage for the vehicle and the living space:

  • The RV itself — repairs or replacement after a collision, theft, fire, or storm damage.
  • Liability — costs if you cause injury or damage to others while driving a motorized RV.
  • Your belongings — personal items and gear you keep inside the RV.
  • Attached equipment — awnings, satellite gear, and other fixtures, depending on your policy.
  • Roadside and emergency — towing and help getting a large vehicle back on the road, when included.
