What is Travel Trailer Insurance?
Is it necessary to have insurance on a travel trailer? No state requires you to ensure a travel trailer that you tow behind a car or truck since you are not driving it. Your usual auto insurance will cover a trailer that is connected up to your vehicle, but it will not cover damage to your vacation trailer. If you’re taking out a loan for the travel trailer, your lender may need comprehensive and collision coverage to protect the vehicle from physical damage. Before you hitch your new trailer to your vehicle or truck for a weekend in the woods, be sure it’s insured.
Why do I need travel trailer insurance?
It makes sense to invest in travel trailer insurance if you want your travel trailer to be insured in the event of damage or loss. However, your vehicle policy’s liability coverage would only cover damage or injury caused by your trailer, not any damage to the trailer itself. Other forms of coverage on your automobile, such as comprehensive and collision, would not cover your towable camper. If you have a travel trailer or camper that connects to your normal car or truck, your regular auto insurance policy’s liability coverage will cover your trailer while it’s connected.

- Does the trailer have any attached equipment?
- What is the Gross Weight of the trailer?
- Describe the equipment and provide the MSRP of the equipment.
- What is the manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the trailer.
- What type of trailer is it?

Do I have to get my Trailer Insured? Is it legal on the road without it?
It’s only illegal if the truck pulling the trailer isn’t covered. As long as your trailer is being pulled by an insured and registered vehicle, it is deemed road legal. Now it is just important to understand that even though your vehicle may be fully covered with all the options if you don’t have insurance on your trailer and it gets damaged, although your vehicle may get repaired/replaced your trailer will not. Depending on the size and type of trailer you have this can be quite costly, especially when used for commercial use this can potentially put someone out of business.
