New Jersey RV insurance

What are New Jersey's RV insurance requirements?

New Jersey requires every motorist to have liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection. If you drive a motorhome, you need a policy with the following liability limits:

• $15,000 in bodily injury per person
• $30,000 in total bodily injury per accident
• $5,000 in property damage per accident

If you’re towing a travel trailer, the liability coverage limits above must be on the auto policy for your tow vehicle. However, you still need a separate policy to insure your travel trailer against physical damage.

New Jersey RV insurance coverages

Bodily injury and property damage liability coverage

Bodily injury liability coverage helps pay the cost of any injuries and medical expenses another person sustains in an accident you cause. Property damage liability can help to pay to repair another person's vehicle and belongings if you're liable for their damages. New Jersey's minimum liability limits are lower than most states, but you can increase your coverage limits in order to better protect your assets.

Comprehensive and collision coverage

If you finance your motorhome or travel trailer, comprehensive and collision coverage are generally required by your lender.

Comprehensive coverage can protect against events beyond your control such as: fire, theft, vandalism, weather related issues, glass breakage and collisions with animals.

Collision coverage can pay for the repair or replacement of your RV if it's damaged in a crash with another object, such as another vehicle, fence or building, tree, road sign or pothole.

What if I live in my RV full-time?

Those who live in their RVs full-time may need more protections than a recreational policy offers. Full-time RV insurance policies provide these extra coverages:

• Personal liability: Personal liability coverage may cover you if you're liable for another party's injuries or damages, even when your RV is parked.
• Medical payments: If someone is injured in your RV or around it (like slipping on wet steps), medical payments coverage may pay their medical expenses.
• Loss assessment: This coverage pays the cost of fees charged to you by RV park associations for repairs.
