Before purchasing a preowned recreational vehicle (RV), it’s crucial to conduct a thorough inspection. Once you’re satisfied with the condition of the RV, consider obtaining an insurance policy. Insurance will protect your RV both when you drive it and when you park it.

Preexisting Issues

An inspection can help identify any preexisting issues that need to be addressed. While a mechanical issue or cosmetic flaw won’t affect your RV insurance policy, it could influence your decision to purchase a particular RV model.

The Layout

Assess the layout of the RV you’re interested in purchasing. The layout will determine the available space within the RV and may also affect its overall safety. When assessing the layout, consider the type of insurance coverage you’ll need to protect the space. If you plan on moving your own furnishings into the RV, you might decide to insure each of your personal possessions.

Driving Capabilities and Proposed Travel Plans

Evaluate the preowned RV’s driving capabilities. An RV with a motor in pristine condition will be safer to drive than one with preexisting mechanical issues. Also, assess your proposed travel plans. Use this information to help you choose the level of insurance protection that suits your needs.

Comparison of Insurance Products

Compare insurance products that will adequately protect the RV from theft, vandalism, and natural weather events. This step will help you choose the proper coverage.
