Storing Your RV for the Winter? Don’t Forget These Insurance Considerations

Around this time, many recreational vehicle (RV) owners begin preparing their recreational vehicles for off-season storage. While Texas winters can be milder than in other states, it’s still important to take steps to review your RV coverage before storing your vehicle for the season. At Randy Russell Insurance, we want to help you keep your investment financially protected so you can avoid surprises when it’s time to hit the road again.

Why Insurance Matters During Winter Storage

Even when your RV is parked and not in use, it can still face risks such as theft, vandalism, fire or weather-related damage. RV insurance policies may offer coverage for these scenarios, but it can vary. Reviewing your policy before storing your RV helps ensure that you’re not left exposed to unexpected losses.

Key Insurance Options for Winter Storage

• Comprehensive coverage. This part of your RV insurance can help against non-collision incidents like theft, fire or storm damage while your RV is in storage.
• Storage-only policies. Some insurers offer reduced coverage options for RVs that won’t be driven for an extended period. These policies may lower your premium while still offering essential coverage.
• Liability coverage. If your RV is stored on your property, you may wonder if you still need liability coverage. While you can sometimes reduce or suspend this coverage during storage, it’s important to discuss the risks with our team before making changes.
• Location requirements. Where you store your RV (at home, in a storage facility, or elsewhere) can affect your insurance needs. Some storage facilities may require proof of insurance.
• Policy updates. If you’ve made upgrades or changes to your RV, now is a good time to update your policy to reflect its current value.
