RV insurance covers many of the similar risks that auto insurance does, including collision, comprehensive and liability coverage.

Depending on the insurance company you choose, your additional coverage options may include:
​
-
Total loss replacement coverage
-
Campsite and vacation coverage
-
Emergency expenses
-
Full-timer coverage if your RV is your full time residence
-
Uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage
​
Recreational vehicles, or RVs, include a wide range of motorhomes, from camper vans to bus conversions, organized by classes: Class A, B and C. Your RV insurance will depend on the class of your vehicle, how much you use it, whether you live in it full time and other factors.
The classes of RV include:
​
Class A: This class includes models such as the luxury coach, converted bus and motor coach. These vehicles can be up to 75 feet long.
​
Class B: This is the smallest class of recreational vehicles. These vehicles do not have a cab-over, and can also include cargo van type designs, travel trailers and camper vans.
​
Class C: This group includes vehicles that use a standard cargo van as the driving portion of the RV and the camper portion extends over the cab area. This class covers fifth wheel vehicles.
