RV insurance in Louisiana

What are Louisiana's RV insurance requirements?

The legal requirements for RV insurance in Louisiana vary depending on the type of RV or trailer you have. Because Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes are independent vehicles capable of moving under their own power, they need to carry the same minimum liability coverage as cars do:

• $15,000 in bodily injury per person
• $30,000 in total bodily injury per accident
• $25,000 in property damage per accident

Louisiana RV insurance coverages

Bodily injury and property damage liability coverage

Liability coverage may cover damages you cause to others if you're at fault for an accident. Bodily injury pays for medical bills, and property damage pays for damage you cause to other vehicles, campers, buildings, and more. It can also cover legal fees associated with the incident.

Comprehensive and collision coverage

Comprehensive and collision coverage aren't required by law, but many lenders do require them. Comprehensive coverage may cover costs for repairing or replacing your RV when events beyond your control like vandalism, extreme weather, fire, and collisions with wild animals.

Collision coverage may cover damage that results from accidents, including collisions with other vehicles, trees, road signs, or even accidents like rollovers that don't involve anyone else.

What if I live in my RV full-time?

If you live in an RV most or all the time, you may need more protection than what a standard recreational Louisiana RV insurance policy offers. Full-time RV insurance policies have a lot in common with recreational policies, but there are a few crucial differences:

• Personal liability: The required minimum liability coverage usually only protects your RV while you're driving. If you live in your RV, full-time insurance can pay for damage you cause others while the RV is parked.
• Medical payments: Medical payments may pay for medical bills if someone hurts themselves in your RV or the area around it.
• Loss assessment: This coverage may pay for costs to repair the property where your vehicle is parked.
