What are the different RVs we help you Insure in Airdrie

There are so many shapes and sizes of RVs on the market in Alberta, that it may make your head spin. At RV Direct, we can insure four types of RVs: travel trailers (towed trailers), motorhomes, mobile homes and park models.

Below we go over the 4 types of RVs.

4 Types of RVs

 

Travel Trailer
If you want an RV for weekend trips or summer vacations, a travel trailer is a great bet. The towable travel trailer comes in all sizes and shapes with amenities from the basics to full luxury.

A travel trailer insurance policy helps Airdrie residents protect their trailer and belongings and can provide extras like roadside assistance and emergency vacation expenses.

Motorhomes<
Motorhomes are driveable RVs that come in three categories: Class A, B and C. From basic camper vans to luxurious motorhomes, these vehicles offer a lot of flexibility for travelers.

Because a motorhome is a vehicle, you’ll also need third-party liability insurance in addition to physical damage coverage for your RV and its contents.

Mobile Homes
Sometimes called manufactured homes (depending on your insurer), insurance for mobile homes is like a standard homeowner’s policy which includes property coverage.

You can get coverage whether you use your mobile home year-round, seasonally or if you want to rent out your home.

Park Model
Similar to a mobile or manufactured a home, a park model tends to be smaller. They’re commonly used for seasonal or year-round residences.

There are 4 settlement options:

  • Actual cash value (cheapest option)
  • Replacement cost
  • Guaranteed replacement Cost
  • Guaranteed purchase price (Up to 5 years old)

The age of your RV and the type of your RV will determine which loss settlement options are available to you. Speak to an RV Direct broker in Airdrie to get more information.

Increased Coverage & Limits

Policy limits refer to the maximum amount of money that your insurer can pay you based on an insured loss. This limit is decided at the time you set up your RV insurance policy.

If you own an RV, it’s important to have enough coverage for all your personal items.

Consult with one of our RV brokers and they will explain the ins and outs of policy limits and coverage.
