Insurance Considerations for Off-Grid RV Travel

Heading out to the Arizona backcountry with your RV is a real adventure, but the farther you get from the highway, the more important it becomes to have the right insurance coverage in place.

Risks of Off-Grid RV Travel

Unpaved and off-grid roads can introduce hazards that familiar, paved roads don’t. Some of these risks include:

• Rollovers on uneven terrain
• Weather damage from monsoons, hail or extreme heat
• Theft or vandalism in isolated locations
• Wildlife encounters and collisions
• Limited emergency access

Breakdowns also mean expensive towing across miles of remote roads, which standard roadside assistance plans typically exclude.

Key RV Insurance Coverage for Off-Grid Adventures

A dedicated RV insurance policy can offer coverage that standard auto policies may not, including:

• Comprehensive and collision coverage for damage caused by weather, animals or accidents on rough terrain
• Liability coverage that may extend to incidents at your campsite or temporary living area, depending on your coverage
• Total loss replacement, which some policies include for newer units, with eligibility requirements that vary by insurer; some carriers require the RV to be the current or prior model year and never previously titled
• Emergency expense coverage that can help with lodging or travel costs if your RV becomes uninhabitable due to a covered risk
• Roadside assistance endorsements designed for off-highway and rural recovery situations

Coverage details vary by policy, so reviewing the specifics with our team matters.
