We know, we know. Soon, the open road will beckon, and you’ll heed the call in your shiny clean and fully stocked RV.
But before you set out on that next excellent adventure, you’ll want to make sure you’re protected from all the speed bumps that might slow you down. After you’ve packed the sunblock, bug spray, rain gear and OTC meds, take a moment to review your RV insurance coverage.
If you don’t have RV insurance, now is the time to seriously consider it. We all know that automobile insurance follows you wherever you go, so that even if you’re driving someone else’s car, or a rental, and you’re in an accident, you’re covered.
When it comes to your RV, though, your auto insurance is useless. RV insurance is a specialized insurance to cover occurrences unique to RV travel, such as broken windshields (have you ever really looked at how BIG they are?!), damaged awnings and broken gas bottles – all pricey to repair or replace on their own.
And what if your RV is so damaged that you can’t drive it or stay in it? Are you covered for rental cars and/or accommodations?
