You may find some of the same coverages offered by auto insurance are available for motorhomes. A typical motorhome insurance policy may include the following coverage options.

Collision coverage

This protection may help pay for the cost of repairing or replacing your motorhome if it's damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object. Collision coverage may extend to the physical structure of the motorhome as well as built-in features inside, like sinks or a permanently installed television.

Comprehensive coverage

Damage can also be caused by something other than a collision. Comprehensive coverage may help cover the cost of repairing a motorhome if it's damaged by hail or fire, for example. In some cases, comprehensive coverage may also help cover water damage to your motorhome or items that are permanently built into it. Read your policy or contact your agent to learn what types of water damage your policy covers.

Liability coverage

Suppose you are found at fault for an accident that injures another person or their property. Liability coverage may help pay for the injured person's medical bills or help cover the costs of repairing their property.

Contents coverage

You may find that motorhome insurance offers limited coverage for personal belongings you've brought with you on the road. Check your policy to learn about any contents coverage it may provide. If you have homeowners or renters insurance, the personal property coverage on that policy may help cover your belongings while they're in your motorhome.

Medical payments coverage

This protection helps cover medical expenses or funeral expenses that you or your passengers incur as the result of an accident.

Personal injury protection

This type of protection, available only if you live in a no-fault state, may help cover expenses such as medical bills, lost wages and funeral expenses that result from an accident with your motorhome.

It's important to keep in mind that each type of coverage typically comes with a limit — the maximum amount the policy will pay out for a covered loss. You'll likely need to pay a deductible before your coverage will take effect.

Some insurers may offer additional protections, such as roadside assistance, coverage for a sound system installed by your motorhome's manufacturer or coverage for emergency travel expenses if damage to your motorhome leaves it unusable. Be sure to read your policy or contact your agent to determine what types of coverage are available to you and whether you have enough to fit your needs.
