Class A motorhome insurance

A bus-sized motorhome is a vehicle and a home at once; the policy has to cover both roles, and a breakdown far from home is expensive.

Class A motorhomes are built on bus or heavy-truck chassis, often diesel pushers, and are the most expensive RVs to repair: a windshield, a slide-out mechanism or a roof air unit can each run into four figures, which is why comprehensive with a sensible deductible earns its place.

Many owners live in them for months at a time. Once an RV is your home, you need the liability a homeowners policy would normally give you — injuries at the campsite, a dog bite, a guest tripping on the steps — and that is what full-timer coverage supplies.

A breakdown in a Class A is not a tow truck job; it is a heavy-duty wrecker job, often hundreds of miles from the nearest dealer that can service the chassis. Emergency expense and RV-rated roadside cover exist for exactly this.

The checklist for a class a motorhome

Liability (bodily injury and property damage)Pays others for injuries and damage you cause. The state-required part of a motorcycle or motorhome policy; a towable trailer usually inherits liability from the tow vehicle's auto policy.
Uninsured / underinsured motoristYour injuries when the at-fault driver has no or too little insurance. On a motorcycle, where the rider absorbs the crash, this is the line most worth buying at a real limit.
CollisionRepairs your own vehicle after a crash with another vehicle or object, less the deductible. Lenders require it on financed RVs and bikes.
ComprehensiveTheft, fire, hail, flood, falling objects and animal strikes. For a stored RV or a motorcycle in a shared garage, this is the coverage most likely to be used.
Total loss replacementReplaces a new RV or bike with a new one of the same model if it is totalled within the first model years, instead of paying depreciated value.
Vacation (campsite) liabilityLiability for injuries at your campsite while the RV is parked and used as a dwelling — the gap between auto and homeowners cover.
Personal effectsBelongings carried in the RV: laptops, bikes on the rack, cookware, clothing. Homeowners policies often limit property away from home.
Emergency expenseHotel, meals and transport when the RV breaks down or is damaged far from home.
Roadside assistance and towingTowing a 30-foot motorhome or a trailer is not a standard tow; RV-specific roadside cover names the vehicle class it will tow.

Lines that depend on how you use it

These are added when the class a motorhome is financed, lived in full time, stored for part of the year, or carries custom parts:

Full-timer liabilityIt pays when someone is injured at or around the RV you live in, much as a homeowners policy would at a house.
Storage / lay-up optionIt reduces the premium while the vehicle is stored by suspending road coverages, while comprehensive stays in force.
Custom parts and equipmentIt pays for aftermarket parts and equipment beyond the small amount a standard policy includes, at the value you schedule.
