Recreational Vehicle Insurance

What better way to enjoy the great outdoors than with your recreational vehicle.  Spending a day at the lake on your pontoon boat or riding your snowmobile through the backcountry on a beautiful winter day are exciting outdoor activities you and your friends and family can share.

A recreational vehicle shares the road with other automobiles, so you may think an auto insurance policy is all you need to cover your home away from home.  However, an auto insurance policy needs to include many of the items you will find in a specialized recreational vehicle insurance policy.  

We provide the recreational vehicle or camper coverage that best fits your situation.  

We offer the following options for Recreational Vehicle Insurance:

  • Total loss replacement – covers a new RV (no more than 5 years old) when declared a total loss and provides the owner with a replacement unit of similar value
  • Replacement cost of personal belongings – covers the cost of replacing personal property that is destroyed during a specified event
  • Emergency expense coverage – covers costs incurred in the event of an accident or breakdown and forces you and your occupants to find other lodging and meals.
  • Comprehensive coverage – covers damage from vandalism, theft, natural disasters, fires, water damage, and other incidents not caused by a road accident.
  • Towing and roadside assistance – covers towing costs and mechanical costs if you can’t fix it yourself
  • Full-time liability – covers the RV when inhabited for more than a certain portion of the year. Similar to homeowner’s insurance in that its coverage includes medical expenses suffered by someone who is injured in or around your RV.
  • Stationary coverage – covers your RV while it is parked either in storage or at your main place of residence
  • Medical insurance coverage – covers the medical expenses you incur when an accident occurs in your RV
  • Uninsured motorist coverage – covers you if you are injured and your RV if it is damage by non-insured motorist

Suspend collision coverage when in storage – allows you to suspend the portions of your policy which apply only when the vehicle is being used on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does recreational vehicle insurance cover?

Recreational vehicle insurance can help protect motorhomes, campers, boats, ATVs, Jet Skis, snowmobiles, and other vehicles used for outdoor activities. Coverage may include liability, collision, comprehensive protection, personal property, and medical payments. Available options can vary based on the vehicle and how it is used in Farmington and Hamden, Connecticut.

Do I need insurance for a motorhome in Connecticut?

Most motorhomes must carry liability insurance when they are driven on public roads in Connecticut. Because a motorhome also serves as a living space, you may want additional coverage for belongings, attached equipment, emergency expenses, and physical damage. An insurance agent serving Farmington, Connecticut and Hamden, Connecticut can help you review the requirements.

Does homeowners insurance cover my camper?

Homeowners insurance may provide limited coverage for a camper while it is stored on your property, but it usually does not provide the same protection as a dedicated camper insurance policy. Separate coverage can help protect the camper while it is being transported, parked at a campground, or damaged in an accident near Farmington and Hamden.

Is boat insurance required in Connecticut?

Boat insurance requirements vary by state, marina, and lender. Even when coverage is not legally required in Connecticut, boat insurance can help pay for damage, theft, liability claims, and certain on-water emergencies. Some marinas may also require proof of liability coverage.

What does ATV insurance cover?

ATV insurance may include coverage for collisions, theft, vandalism, fire, injuries, and damage you cause to someone else’s property. Coverage is especially important if you ride on public trails, transport your ATV frequently, or use it on property outside Farmington, Connecticut and Hamden, Connecticut.

Do Jet Skis need separate insurance?

Jet Skis and other personal watercraft are not always fully covered by a standard homeowners or boat insurance policy. Personal watercraft insurance can provide liability and physical damage protection while you are riding, transporting, or storing your Jet Ski in Farmington and Hamden, Connecticut.

Can I insure a snowmobile year-round?

Yes, snowmobile insurance can usually remain active throughout the year, even when the snowmobile is in storage. Year-round coverage may protect against theft, fire, storm damage, and other losses that can happen during the off-season in Connecticut.

Does recreational insurance cover my personal belongings?

Some recreational insurance policies include coverage for personal belongings kept inside a motorhome, camper, or boat. However, coverage limits may apply to items such as electronics, camping equipment, fishing gear, or clothing. It is important to review your policy before traveling outside Farmington, Connecticut and Hamden, Connecticut.

Am I covered if someone else drives my ATV or boat?

Coverage for another driver or operator depends on the policy, the person’s age, their driving history, and whether they had permission to use the vehicle. Before letting a friend or family member operate your ATV, boat, Jet Ski, or snowmobile, check with your insurance agent in Farmington and Hamden.

Can I bundle recreational insurance with my home and auto policies?

Many insurance companies offer options to bundle recreational insurance with home, auto, or other policies. Bundling may make your coverage easier to manage and could qualify you for additional discounts. Available savings and eligibility can vary by carrier and location in Connecticut.
