Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)What RV Insurance Usually Does Not Cover
- Individuals not on the policy that live with you. Generally RV insurance will only cover individuals on the policy and those who don’t live with you who have permission to use the RV.
- Loan for Totaled RV. Collision and Comprehensive insurance will cover your RV’s market value minus your deductible. So if your RV is worth less than you owe, you will need to make up the difference. Gap Insurance can be used to mitigate this risk.
- Custom Parts and Equipment. If your RV is damaged or stolen, RV insurance will not cover the cost of custom add-ons. However, many policies offer an optional policy to cover this.
