Does my auto or homeowners policy cover my RV or camper in Georgia?

It depends on the type of RV and how it is used. Your standard auto and homeowners policies in Georgia usually do not give a recreational vehicle the full protection it needs, so most owners need a dedicated RV policy.

Here is how the pieces fit together. A motorized RV, like a Class A, B, or C motorhome, has an engine and drives on public roads, so it needs its own auto-style coverage with liability, collision, and comprehensive protection. Your regular car insurance will not extend to a motorhome you own. A towable camper, like a travel trailer or fifth wheel, is different. While you tow it, the liability from your tow vehicle’s auto policy generally follows the trailer, but that liability does not pay to repair the camper itself if it is damaged, stolen, or destroyed.

Your homeowners policy offers only limited help. It may cover personal belongings stored inside the camper under your contents coverage, often at a reduced amount when those items are away from home. It will not pay to repair the RV structure, and it will not cover the camper while it is in motion. That gap is why a specialty RV policy matters.

For example, imagine you tow a $35,000 travel trailer to a campground near Lake Lanier and a storm drops a tree limb on the roof, causing $Whether an RV or camper is covered depends on the vehicle type and the policies in place.

A dedicated RV policy with comprehensive coverage would handle the repair after your deductible.

A proper RV policy can also add features like vacation liability, total loss replacement, and coverage for attached awnings and accessories.
