Is my RV covered for hurricane wind or flood in Georgia?

All FAQs

Quick answer: Wind and flood damage to the rig itself fall under comprehensive, the non-collision part of an RV policy. On the Georgia coast in Chatham, Glynn, or Camden County, some carriers limit coastal wind. Georgia has no coastal wind pool; the Georgia Underwriting Association is the residual property market of last resort (O.C.G.A. Title 33, Chapter 33). The National Flood Insurance Program covers buildings and contents, not vehicles.

Wind and flood damage to an RV itself is a comprehensive coverage question, not a homeowners or flood insurance question. Comprehensive coverage is the part of an RV policy that pays for damage that is not a collision, things like wind, hail, fire, falling trees, and flooding that reaches the vehicle. If a policy includes comprehensive coverage, storm damage to the RV is generally covered subject to the deductible; if a policy carries liability-only coverage, wind and flood damage to the rig is not covered at all.

Coastal exposure adds a wrinkle. In Chatham, Glynn, and Camden counties, some carriers limit or exclude coastal wind coverage, or apply a separate, higher wind deductible, because of hurricane risk along the Georgia coast. Georgia does not operate a state-run coastal wind pool the way some Gulf Coast states do. Instead, the Georgia Underwriting Association exists as a residual market, a coverage source of last resort for property that cannot find coverage in the standard market (O.C.G.A. Title 33, Chapter 33). Whether a specific carrier restricts coastal RV coverage varies, which is a question a coverage review can address for a specific location and rig.

Flood coverage works differently again. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), run through FEMA, covers buildings and their contents, houses, condos, and what is inside them. It does not cover vehicles, and an RV, even one used as a residence, is a vehicle for this purpose. Flood damage to a motorhome or travel trailer is a comprehensive-coverage claim on the RV policy, not an NFIP claim.

Example: a Camden County RV owner evacuates ahead of a tropical storm but leaves the trailer parked near the coast. Storm surge floods the interior and damages the frame. NFIP does not respond because the trailer is not a covered structure. The owner's RV comprehensive coverage, if the policy includes it, is what pays for the flood damage, subject to the deductible and any coastal-specific terms in the policy.

Wind and flood exposure also intersects with how the RV is used. A full-timer living in the RV as a primary residence faces different stakes from storm damage than someone who tows the rig out a few weekends a year, since the full-timer's belongings and daily living space are on the line.

Coverage details, coastal wind terms, and comprehensive deductibles vary by carrier. See the full Georgia RV insurance overview for how comprehensive coverage fits into a full policy, and confirm what a motorized RV needs at minimum on whether RV insurance is required in Georgia.
