- This is protection is in case you damage something while driving the RV. It does not pay for your damages, just the damages of a 3rd party

Under insured / Uninsured Driver:

- You will need this kind of insurance to protect you against people who do not have proper coverage, or no coverage at all.

Vacation Liability:

- Since you're driving an RV you are most likely going on vacation, this protection will take for of any bills for injury, or loss of property while at a vacation site. This would mean an RV park or camp site that you were at when it all happened.

Towing and Labor Protection:

- Even towing a car can be expensive, imagine the cost of towing an RV. Is that an expense you want to pay for? Then you had better get some towing protection.

Total Loss:

- If your RV is a complete right off, then this coverage will cover the cost of a replacement.

Roadside assistance:

- This is a little like AMA assistance, but it is attached to your insurance, and can help pay for a quick boost, or maybe some extra gas if you are stranded.

Effects Rates:

Driving Record:

- Who is the primary driver? If there is going to be more than one driver for the RV, list the one with the best record as the primary. This will give you the best rate possible.

Location:

- Everywhere the rates are different for RV's. It is best to shop around for the best rates, you never know, you mind find a better rate somewhere else, than if you only looked locally.

How often do you drive the RV?

- If you are only a weekend RVer, then your rates might be a little lower than if you were a full timer, driving all over the country all the time. It is always best to get an insurance quote based on your life style as an RVer.

So many things can effect the outcome of an RV insurance quote, coverage type, location, record of primary driver, even how often you drive the RV. So many things to consider, and it is always best to go into an insurance meeting already armed with the knowledge of each time of protection you can get. One important thing to remember though, is not all insurance companies will carry all the above insurances, they might even have their own custom packages. But that does not mean you should ever settle on a policy just because it is there. Shop around, and find the best RV coverage that will best suit you.
