Recreational Vehicle Insurance

RV and motor home insurance combines auto-style liability and physical damage with home-like protection for the belongings and features inside a Class A, B, or C motorhome. Because motorized RVs drive on public roads, California requires at least the state minimum auto liability, and options like full-timer liability and total-loss replacement may be added.

A motorized RV is part vehicle and part home, and good coverage reflects both. We help California RV owners build coverage that fits the way they travel.

What does RV and motor home insurance cover?

  • Liability for bodily injury and property damage while driving.
  • Physical damage for collision and other losses.
  • Home-like coverage for contents and attached items such as awnings and appliances.
  • Personal belongings you carry on trips.
  • Emergency expense coverage if a covered loss leaves you stranded.
  • Optional total-loss replacement on eligible newer RVs.
  • Optional full-timer liability if you live in your RV.

RV insurance coverage options to consider

Who needs it? Owners of Class A, B, and C motorhomes, from weekend campers to full-time travelers. Full-timer coverage may matter if your RV is your primary residence, since a standard RV policy often assumes recreational use.

Because motorized RVs drive on public roads, California requires them to carry at least the state minimum auto liability limits. Many owners choose higher limits given the size and value of a motorhome. If you take your RV across state lines, coverage typically travels with you throughout the United States.

We look at your RV class, how often you travel, and whether you live in it, then help you decide which options fit. If you also own a car, we can look at how your policies work together, including a personal umbrella for added liability.

On eligible newer RVs, it may replace a totaled unit with a comparable new one rather than paying depreciated value. Terms vary.

Usually not fully. A dedicated RV policy adds the home-like protections a standard auto policy typically leaves out.

What is full-timer coverage?2026-08-10T13:44:56-07:00
