Preparing Your RV for Summer Travel: Insurance and Safety Tips

Summer is here and you’re ready to hit the road in your recreational vehicle (RV). Whether you plan on exploring the country on a road trip or have picked out the perfect camping destination, you must make sure your recreational vehicle (RV) is road-ready and financially protected from the unexpected.

RV Insurance

Your RV is more of a home on wheels than a simple vehicle; your insurance should reflect that. The following are essential coverages to consider:

• Liability coverage can help with the financial consequences of causing damage to property or injury to someone else.
• Comprehensive coverage can help in non-collision incidents such as hail, fire, or theft.
• Collision coverage can help pay for damages to your RV following an accident.
• Vacation liability can offer additional coverage if your RV is parked at a campsite or RV park for extended periods.
• Roadside assistance can come in handy should your RV break down or malfunction during your travels.

Maintenance and Preparation

Before you begin your journey, make sure your RV is ready for what lies ahead:

• Test your battery and replace if needed.
• Check your tires for adequate pressure or any defects and damage.
• Flush and sanitize all water systems.
• Check all lights, including brakes and signals.
• Service any a/c units to prepare for the high temperatures summer brings.
• Stock your RV with essential items, which may include:
• Flashlights, batteries, and chargers
• First-aid kit
• Insurance paperwork and important contact information
• Spare keys hidden in a safe place
