Like any motor vehicle, RVs represent significant financial investments with various risks and exposures. If you own or operate an RV, you are subject to certain legal requirements regarding insurance. Furthermore, RV insurance is an essential precaution and loss control measure to ensure you are not left with high out-of-pocket costs following an accident on the road or other incident involving your vehicle.
Cost Factors for RV Insurance
The cost of an adequate RV insurance policy may vary significantly. Before providing you with an accurate quote for coverage, insurance companies must consider several factors and any unique circumstances. In most cases, this analysis will include consideration of the following criteria: 
- Vehicle details (e.g., type, make, age, condition)
- Usage habits (e.g., full-time residence)
- Driving records and experience levels
- Policy details (e.g., coverage limits, deductibles)
How to Save on RV Insurance
While RV insurance is a necessary expense, there are ways to save on your premiums while maintaining adequate coverage. Before purchasing or renewing a policy, consider the following ways to access discounted rates:
- Bundling—By combining your RV coverage with other policies issued by the same insurance provider, such as home, renters or boat coverage, you may enjoy substantial discounts.
- Driving responsibly—Like standard auto insurance policies you might acquire for your car, RV coverage is influenced heavily by your driving history. If you have a clean record without recent accidents or traffic violations, you may be able to save on your premiums.
- Installing safety equipment—Insurance companies may offer discounts if you augment your motorhome with various safety equipment and features, including airbags, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights and electronic stability control.
- Taking courses—You may be able to earn additional discounts by completing approved defensive driving courses.
- Avoiding claims—Many insurance companies may apply a discount automatically if you renew your policy without filing any at-fault claims.

RVs provide a convenient, flexible and fun way to see the world. However, even while not in motion, the residential aspects of motorhomes can create significant risks and exposures.
