RV Insurance Essentials for Hurricane Season
Whether your recreational vehicle (RV) sits in storage during storm months or travels with you through Jefferson City, TN and beyond, the right insurance coverage can mean the difference between a manageable claim and a financial setback. Knowing what your policy covers before a hurricane forms is the most practical step any RV owner can take.
What Are My Coverage Options?
Key coverage types to review with our agents include:
- Comprehensive coverage: This can cover damage caused by wind, falling trees and other hazards associated with hurricanes.
- Total loss replacement: If your RV is declared a total loss, this coverage can help pay for a comparable replacement rather than a depreciated value.
- Personal belongings coverage: This can cover items stored inside your RV, such as electronics, clothing and equipment.
- Emergency expense coverage: This can help pay for temporary lodging and travel costs if a covered loss leaves you displaced during a trip.
Coverage availability and limits vary by insurer and policy type, so we advise that you review your declarations with our agents.
What Should I Prepare Before a Hurricane?
Preparation can reduce both physical damage and the friction of filing a claim. Before a storm threatens, document the interior and exterior of your RV with dated photos or video. Store your documents in a cloud account or somewhere off-site. Move your RV to an enclosed structure or designated storm shelter when possible and secure any awnings, antennas or loose exterior accessories.
Keep your insurance documents and agent contact information in an accessible location separate from the RV.
