How to Insure RVs — National Edition
Is it a vehicle—or is it their home?
That is the question that makes RV insurance different.
An RV may be a motor vehicle, a towable trailer, a weekend getaway, a seasonal residence, a temporary home—or someone's primary residence.
That's why a producer cannot properly understand an RV risk by asking only year, make, model, and value. 

How to Insure RVs is a practical producer-development guide designed to teach insurance professionals how to understand the RV, the people, how they travel, how they live, what they carry, what they tow, and the liability exposures that follow them.

Inside This Practical Guide
You'll learn how to:
  • Correctly identify motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, truck campers and other RVs
  • Identify drivers, household members, occasional operators and people who travel or live in the RV
  • Distinguish weekend recreation from seasonal travel, extended occupancy and full-time RV living
  • Understand the towing relationship between a trailer, tow vehicle and related insurance
  • Investigate valuation and physical-damage considerations
  • Inventory awnings, generators, electronics, accessories and other equipment
  • Discover the personal belongings that travel with the household
  • Recognize campsite and vacation liability exposures
  • Investigate emergency-expense, lodging and transportation questions
  • Address specialized roadside assistance, towing and recovery
  • Understand storage, lay-up and seasonal changes
  • Recognize full-timer exposures
  • Identify rental and peer-to-peer sharing concerns
  • Discover business use and mobile-office exposures
  • Investigate modifications, renovations and DIY conversions
  • Coordinate the RV with Auto, Homeowners and Personal Umbrella
  • Build a complete, quote-ready RV account 

The RV May Be Insured—but What About Everything Traveling With It?
One of the book's centerpiece lessons concerns everything customers put inside, on, and around the RV.
  • Generators.
  • Awnings.
  • Satellite and internet equipment.
  • Bicycles and e-bikes.
  • Outdoor furniture.
  • Tools.
  • Sporting gear.
  • Electronics.
  • Jewelry.
  • Personal belongings.
The guide teaches producers to inventory these exposures rather than assume the RV policy—or the customer's Homeowners policy—automatically handles everything. How to insure RVs

Full-Time RV Living Changes the Conversation
Someone using a motorhome three weekends each year presents a very different exposure from someone occupying an RV for six, seven, or nine months—or using it as a primary residence.
The producer must discover the customer's actual lifestyle before deciding what insurance questions need to be answered. 
The guide specifically addresses full-time RV living, including residence status, contents, personal liability, emergency expense, campsite liability, and umbrella eligibility. How to insure RVs

Learn How to Find the Business, Too
As we've established throughout the How to Insure series, producers shouldn't merely learn how to insure a specialty risk. They should learn how to find the people who own it.

This guide includes a complete How to Find & Attract RV Prospects chapter.
Potential opportunities include:
  • Existing Auto/Home/Umbrella Clients
  • First-Time Camper Buyers
  • New Motorhome Owners
  • Retirees Planning Extended Travel
  • Seasonal Campground Users
  • Full-Time RV Households
  • Clients Adding Tow Vehicles
  • RV Communities
  • Appropriate Dealer, Service and Campground Relationships 
The guide also gives producers real consumer questions they can answer to attract prospects:
  • Does my Auto policy cover my travel trailer?
  • What happens to my belongings inside my RV?
  • Does RV insurance cover me while I'm parked at a campsite?
  • What changes if I live in my RV full-time?
  • Is my awning or generator covered?
  • What if I rent my RV through a sharing platform?
  • Does my umbrella cover my motorhome or travel trailer? 

Includes a 30-Day RV Prospecting Plan
The guide turns that knowledge into a practical four-week business-development system:
WEEK 1 — FIND THE RV OWNERS
  • Review appropriate existing accounts, build a legitimate prospect list, and choose RV questions for educational content.
WEEK 2 — BECOME USEFUL
  • Conduct RV coverage reviews, publish helpful educational answers, and offer RV use-and-contents checkups.
WEEK 3 — FIND THE LIFESTYLE CHANGES
  • Identify clients planning retirement or extended travel and investigate occupancy, full-time use, rental, and business-use issues.
WEEK 4 — ROUND & RETAIN
  • Measure reviews, quotes, bound policies and referrals; review Auto/Home/Umbrella relationships; and schedule annual RV lifestyle reviews.

  • RV Identification
  • Driver & Tow Discovery
  • Use & Occupancy
  • What Goes With It
