Homeowners insurance covers damage to your home, property, personal belongings, and other assets in your home. Even if you aren’t obligated to have a homeowners policy, it’s still generally wise to get one.

Motorhome insurance policies are typically classified into three distinct groups. Each group usually insures RVs that are within a certain size range. The three groups are:
Motorhome policies usually have a number of coverages, which can include protections that would normally be found in auto insurance policies or homeowners insurance policies. Together, the coverages provide robust protection against driving and non-driving risks.
Some of the coverages that are akin to what would likely be found in an auto insurance policy are:
Some of the coverages that are more akin to what’d probably be in a homeowners insurance policy are:
There are still more coverages that motorhome owners might want to look for. An insurance agent who specializes in these policies can help owners find all of the coverages they need.
People generally should have personal property coverage, which could protect belongings such as clothes, furniture, dishes, electronics and more. Motorhome owners can go about securing personal property coverage a few different ways.
RVers who have a primary residence likely get some personal property coverage through their homeowners insurance (or condo insurance, etc.). This coverage may provide “worldwide coverage” for belongings, which normally means belongings are covered anywhere that an RV would go (exclusions often apply to war zones, etc.).
If a homeowners insurance policy provides “worldwide coverage” for personal belongings, then additional personal property coverage through an RV policy is likely unnecessary. Motorhome owners might indeed be able to forgo save a little by forgoing this coverage when insuring their RV.
If a homeowners insurance policy doesn’t provide “worldwide coverage” for belongings, then the protection afforded when belongings are away from the residence could be quite limited. Including this coverage in an RV policy would likely be recommended in this situation.
Full-time RVers often don’t have any homeowners insurance policy. For this reason, personal property coverage is frequently included in full-timer coverage.
