RV Insurance Quote

RV Insurance Quote - Learn 8 Types of Coverage to Protect You and Your RV

If you are looking for an RV insurance quote, then sometimes it might be best to either shop around, or look up a specialist on RV's, as there are many different types of coverage out there that you might want to look into. However, not all coverage types are covered by all insurance company, so you might want to look for a company that is carrying the policy you want.

Coverage Types:

Collision Protection:

- This will protect you against damage done to the RV, or it's contents during the time of a collision.

Theft and Vandalism:

- If something is stolen, or damaged in the RV (this does include the RV itself), this will provide money for replacement.

Property Damage:

- 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.

Diesel Pusher RVs

Dave Nettles — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:00:43 +0000

A diesel pusher is a motorhome with a rear diesel powered engine. They fall into the category of the best and most luxurious of RVs, best in class.

A Short Overview for Diesel Pushers

Some may wonder is there a difference in gas-powered and diesel-powered RVs. Of course the basic difference is the diesel pusher runs on diesel. The big difference is how the chassis is constructed. The diesel pusher motorhome will have the diesel engine mounted in the rear. Gas powered motorhomes are generally constructed on a chassis designed for front mounted gas engines.

Some Pros of the Diesel Pusher Motorhome

A diesel pusher always has a much higher carrying and towing capability than the gas-powered recreational vehicles. With the rear diesel engine that has much greater power-train advantages than the gas-powered RVs. So if you plan to travel the country mountains will be a consideration. Traveling through the mountains with a full load will be done with ease in a diesel pusher. There are no worries of overheating from pushing your RV too hard because this is what the diesel pusher is made for.

The diesel pusher has a longer life span than the gas-powered RVs. You will enjoy many more safe miles on the roads between engine overhauls and many more years of enjoyment from your diesel pusher. Because of the longer lifespan selecting a used diesel pusher is a much safer bet.

Here is an example for comparison; the small diesel comings 5.9 liter in the Dodge pickups and not due for overhaul until after 350,000 thousand miles. The bigger engines have even a longer lifespan. So a diesel pusher with less than 100,000 thousand miles is not even broke-in yet and a safe bet buying used.

Travel Trailers

Dave Nettles — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:58:13 +0000

Small Campers

Travel trailers or small campers go back as far as the early 1920s. The people that used them were referred to as “Tin Can Tourists”. Sometime later these travel trailers became more livable and by the 1930s and 40s they got a new designation “House Trailer”. But it wasn’t until the 1950s and 60s that there seem to be a split in the industry. This created two types, the Recreational Vehicle or better known as the “RV” industry and the Mobil Home industry. In this day and age travel trailer get the classification as a type of RV along with motorhomes, fifth wheel trailers, pop-up camper trailers and truck campers.

The small campers and travel trailers along with the pop-ups are built with touring in mind. They are usually less than 18 feet long and include modest amenities. You will find they are usually less than 3000 lbs and lightweight by design. They are made to be able to set up for use quickly and can be towed by most full size cars and light trucks.

The pop-ups fall into a lighter category weighing in at less than 700 lbs. The SUVs and some of the smaller economy cars are able to tow them without any problems. You can even find some are light enough to be towed by motorcycles.

Next in class is the mid-range travel trailers 18 to 25 fl in length and can go 5000 lbs or more. They are towed by the larger heaver duty pickup trucks and SUVs. You will find plenty of amenities and all the comforts of home included in this class of RV.

Even larger in class are the 25 to 40 foot long models that are decked out like a luxury condominium. The can be 12,000 lbs or more and require special towing vehicles. When the towing vehicle goes over 10,000 lbs a class A driver’s license is required.

All classes of the travel trailer can come in a “Toy Box” version of Toy Hauler. They are broken up into living areas and the garage half for the toys. They include a strong folding ramp in the rear for access to load race cars, ATVs and personal water craft. Fully self contained with generators for power for lighting, cooling and cooking.

Today you will see a lot of innovations with the hybrid travel trailer. They come with the hard sided trailers and the features of a pop-up trailer. These hybrids big advantage is the weight to space ratio, but the disadvantage are the lack of insulation that makes a condensation and heating problem in some climates.

RVs & Motor Homes

Dave Nettles — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:09:04 +0000

To have your own Recreation Vehicle or motor home is the experience of a lifetime. It is kind of like cursing or traveling with your home as you explore the different exciting places in the good old USA.

The Two Recreation Vehicle Categories

They are the towable variety and the motorized. In the towable Recreational Vehicle category are travel trailers, and the small campers fit in this category also. Then what they call a fifth wheel towed by a heavy duty truck in the ¾ ton and up class of truck. We have the more recent addition to the line-up of RVs is what they now call the Toy Hauler. What makes them nice to have is not only do they have sleeping and living quarters you also have room to carry your Toys.

You say what Toys? You know Toys our ATVs, Motorcycles, and many other things for hunting or fishing and other sports. The Toy Hauler has great appeal because it can be towed by most pickups. Once you have set up your camp you have the option of being able to separate the pickup to make short trips away from camp.

The Motorized Category

A Recreational Vehicle in the motorized category is a motor home and they come in 3 different Classes. Class A motor homes can be gas or diesel powered. They like to call the motor homes with diesel power and Diesel Pushers. The Diesel Pushers are found in the more luxurious and larger Recreational Vehicles.

Then we have the Class B motor homes that fall into the category of Vans and conversions. They are also fully self-contained with sleeping accommodations just much smaller versions of the motor home.

The Class C motor home is a little different because it is built on a truck chassis. Called a mini-motor home sometimes, it is a scaled- down version of the larger motor homes and comes with much lower prices. This Class RV is built on a standard automotive manufactured van frame in the ¾ to 1 ton class. You can find some with lighter duty chassis but they keep the standard attached cab section.

RVs are Custom Designed

High Quality craftsmanship goes into each Recreational Vehicles many are custom designed to meet the new owners taste.

What is a Class C Motor Home

Dave Nettles — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:02:21 +0000

Referred to as a mini-motor home the Class C is a smaller version of the larger motor home. It has all the same conveniences as in the larger models. The Class C Recreational Vehicle is built on the standard Van chassis of the heavier duty class ¾ to 1 ton versions. The cab section is kept and the RV section is added on.

The Class C comes in 20 to 28 foot in length and range $38,000 to $68,000. The Class C has many of the same amenities as the larger motor home some with more luxuries than others. You just find them a little more scaled down from the Class A motor home.

Retirees find the Class C perfect in size and not quite as expensive to buy and operate as the Class A. They have a nice functional living space in just a smaller motor home. The work very well for both extended stays and weekend getaways. They have extra bunk over the cab and the main bedroom is located in rear it adds a little more in sleeping arrangements then the Class A. This makes them a little more flexible for larger families.

The Class C RV will sleep 6 to 8 people and some of the newer models now have the slide-outs for the sleeping and dining areas.

Driving a Class C RV is more like driving a normal size vehicle kind of feels like driving a Van. The dually provides a little more solid driving experience with a chassis that is a little more heavy duty.

They still come loaded with plenty of value and luxury the floor plans are roomy and make RVing a pleasure. You will find plenty of storage comfortable furnishings and prices that are affordable.

Another nice option you can get with the Class C RV is you can get them diesel powered. Diesel costs more but you more than make up for the cost with much better mileage. Not to mention the diesel engine will last 3 to 4 times longer than a gas burner. The extra power that the diesel has makes pulling the extra weight make life a lot easier also.
