Good morning,
We're buying our first RV, a 37' Diesel Pusher, and need Insurance. I need recommendations on which companies are the best for insuring DP's.
Thanks,
Michguy

I have Progressive and am satisfied. I think you'll hear pros and cons on them and others. Congratulations on your new RV.

We have GMAC through Good Sam and it has been good for us. Just be sure to get the "full replacement cost" option which replaces the coach for 5 years with a new coach of the same kind, then covers the cost that you paid for yours after the 5 years is up. All RV insurance companies have this but some people have missed the "full" and bought replacement cost. It is worth the difference in premium.

Make sure you have insurance before you drive off with it. A motor home is not considered an add on like a car.

We have farm bureau and it was an add on. Nothing special other than "how much do you want the deductible to be and what $ amount for total loss

Hi michguy,
Assuming a clean driving record, the price will depend on your zip code. Consider a motor coach insurance broker. They will look at several companies and provide you the best price. I use Farm and City. Their contact number is 800-331-1520.

I have Progressive also, and am going to change. My reasons can be found if you google or bing their chairman...Peter Lewis.

Rates are going to vary a lot depending on your personal situation and location, so it is impossible to make decisions based on what others pay. Shop the big names in RV insurance, and also have at least one broker get a quote for you. Gilbert RV Insurance is one such; also RVAmerica.

We use National Interstate, through their ExplorerRV agency. Other big name RV insurers are Progressive & Geico & GMAC, and auto insurers such as The Hartford, Stafe Farm, Allstate, etc also have RV-specific policies.

Make sure you compare apples to apples on coverages. You need to be prepared to specify how much coverage, deductibles, etc. you want. If you just say "how much to insure my motorhome" you will get answers all over the map and maybe get sold coverages you don't need or want.

Shop, shop, shop!

Wow ! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions . I have plenty of info to go on, and have already received two quotes. The first was reasonable, and the second was a little more than double the first.
