At the time you’re narrowing down your purchase choices, you’ll be looking at a variety of recreational vehicles such as new and used rvs, new and used tent trailers, pop up trailers, and all models of new and used campers for sale. What should you keep in mind related to insurance?

Who should you talk to about buying insurance for your new camper?  This process is something you’ve no doubt already gone through many times in the past with your car, and your camper insurance can probably be taken care of by the same agent.  Although I wouldn’t recommend leaving this decision to the last minute, you’ll probably find that your rv sales team can help you out.  As you might guess, the insurance options available for recreational vehicles vary widely.

How much will it cost?  When you consider your insurance budget you’ll need to decide your tolerance for risk and loss.  As you might expect, the less you pay for recreational vehicle insurance, the more risk of loss you are exposed to.  You can talk to your personal insurance broker or the rv sales dealer for detailed information.  At the very minimum  you’ll want to protect yourself from any damage you might cause to other people.  Just like driving a car, when you’re driving a recreational vehicle you need collision insurance.  And with new motor homes you’ll need a lot more than the bare bones insurance to protect your major investment!


Where should you buy your insurance?  Which company provides the most comprehensive insurance recreational vehicle at the lowest cost?  Get a few quotes.  Don’t be pressured by a recreational vehicle dealer, just take your time and make some calls!  Just like shopping for auto insurance, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best deal!

Will you get pressured at the showroom?  Plan your trip to the motorhome dealer in advance.  Make a list of the information you need to gather, and be sure to consider your insurance needs.  Remember that even if you were to pay cash today for your new motor home or used recreational vehicle, the expense of insurance will last the entire time you own your recreational vehicle….  Make an informed decision!

Pop Camper Values vary by the make, model and year of the pop up camper. Whether you’re buying or selling a pop up camper you’ll need to list the make, model, year, features and conditon of the pop up. One consideration that’s often overlooked is insurance recreational vehicle. If you are considering used rv’s or recreational vehicles, be sure to contact your insurance agent for a quote for the recreational vehicles you’re considering. You’ll need to determine the market for pop up campers in your general area, with the listing and sales values of similar pop up campers noted. You can use a site like Kelly or Nada to show the blue book values for the pop up campers, but you’ll find that eBay is more likely to give you accurate listing and sales prices to track the current market in your area. On the eBay site you’ll want to go to eBay Motors and search the listings for sold pop up campers. Review the recent sales by geographical areas and you’ll get a better idea for what they will actually sell for. The values for pop up campers will vary tremendously with age and condition, so keep those factors in mind. Since a pop up camper has moving parts and is easily damaged by foul weather and poor storage, a careful inpection is warrated prior to purchase. A small investment to have a professional inspection for values of your pop up camper is money well spent.
