Do you have to insure a camper in Maine?

If you're pulling a camper or travel trailer, Maine law requires that you carry auto liability coverage for the vehicle pulling your camper. Your auto liability coverage, however, won't cover damage to your travel trailer or motorhome. There are coverage options available for those who want further protection. Learn more about travel trailer insurance.

Comprehensive and collision coverage

If you're financing or leasing your motorhome or travel trailer, it's likely that your lender requires RV comprehensive and collision coverage. Even if you own your RV outright, comprehensive and collision coverages could be a worthwhile option. These coverages protect against damage to your RV and may cover up to the actual cash value of your RV if your motorhome or trailer is damaged, totaled, or stolen.

Comprehensive covers events out of your control, including RV theft, vandalism, fire, hitting an animal, and weather-related issues. Collision covers your RV if you collide with another vehicle, tree, fence, guardrail, or any object.

How much is RV insurance in Maine?

The average premium for a 12-month Maine RV insurance policy at Progressive for 2023 was $676.85 for a motorhome and $375.52 for a travel trailer. Progressive offers RV policies starting at just $125/year*, but your cost for RV insurance depends on several factors, including:

  • Type and model: The more expensive your RV is to repair or replace, the more you pay to insure it. Larger, newer RVs often cost more than smaller, used RVs; and motorhomes typically cost more than travel trailers or pop-ups.

  • Claims history: Your history of filing insurance claims may affect your rate.

  • Driving record: Violations can increase the price of your policy.

  • Location: Your ZIP code can influence the cost of RV insurance.

What if I live in my RV full time?

If your RV is your permanent residence, you may need additional coverage that a recreational RV policy doesn't offer. However, a full-time RV insurance policy may offer protection when your RV is your primary home with the following coverages:

  • Personal liability: Liability coverage on a full-timers policy can protect against liability claims if you're responsible for someone else's injuries or damages, even when your RV is parked.

  • Medical payments: If someone hurts themselves in or around your RV, medical payments coverage may pay for their medical bills.

  • Loss assessment: This coverage can pay for fees or charges from your RV association, up to $5,000.
