Travel Trailer & Fifth-Wheel Insurance in Orlando & Central Florida

Your tow vehicle's auto policy handles liability while moving — but it doesn't cover damage to the trailer itself, your gear inside, or campsite liability when parked.

What Does Travel Trailer Insurance Cover?

A standalone trailer policy fills the gaps your auto and homeowners policies leave behind. It covers physical damage to the trailer, your belongings inside, and adds liability protection when you're set up at a campsite.

Physical Damage

Collision, comprehensive, theft, fire, hail, and falling-object coverage for your trailer — whether being towed or parked.

Vacation Liability

Liability coverage that activates when your trailer is parked and being used as a temporary residence at a campsite or RV park.

Personal Effects

Covers belongings stored inside the trailer — bedding, electronics, kitchenware, and gear.

Emergency Expense & Roadside

Reimburses lodging, food, and transportation if your trailer is disabled away from home, plus towing for the trailer itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Travel Trailer Insurance FAQs

Coverage for towable RVs — because your auto policy doesn't do the job.

Is travel trailer insurance required in Florida?

No — unlike motorized RVs, towable trailers aren't required to carry their own insurance. Liability while being towed usually extends from your tow vehicle's auto policy. But lenders and many RV resorts require coverage, and a dedicated policy is the only way to protect the trailer itself, your contents, and campsite liability.

What does my auto policy cover on my travel trailer?

Typically only liability while the trailer is attached and in motion — not the trailer itself. Damage from collision, fire, theft, wind, or hail while parked or in storage is almost never covered by the tow vehicle's auto policy. A standalone travel trailer policy fills that gap.

What is vacation liability?

Vacation liability provides homeowners-style liability coverage when your trailer is parked at a campground and used as a temporary residence. If a guest is injured at your campsite, this is the coverage that responds. Most travel trailer policies include it either free or for a minimal add-on.

Does travel trailer insurance cover personal belongings inside?

Yes — dedicated personal effects coverage protects items inside the trailer whether it's on the road, at a campsite, or in storage. Standard limits often start around $1,000–$3,000 but can be increased meaningfully for retirees or full-timers traveling with more gear.

Do I need full-timer coverage?

If you live in your trailer more than five to six months per year, yes. Full-timer coverage adds homeowners-style liability, higher contents limits, loss assessment, and other protections a standard policy excludes. Standard travel trailer policies typically exclude losses tied to using the trailer as a primary residence.

How much does travel trailer insurance cost?

A typical policy runs $300–$600 per year depending on trailer value, usage, and coverage selections. Fifth-wheels and larger units cost more; storage-only policies are considerably less. We can run several specialty RV carriers side by side to find the sharpest rate.
