I'm not sure the finance company would know but I could be wrong.

I would do lots of shopping for insurance. At least where we are insurance through the lender is usually much more expensive than what you can find on your own. Just my experience, others may have had a different experience.

They are likely just wanting your insurance business. I would lump it on the same policy as your vehicles. At all cost shop around.

thanks norty1 I actually looked closer at their best offer. Ironically it was through state farm who I have home and car insurance through and in the fine print they showed homeowner and car insurance discounts. I called state farm directly for a quote, it was same the price and coverage was identical. I will just go through my state farm agent who I have used for years.

Be sure to check what is covered. If the trailer is totalled you probably would have to go to your home owner's coverage for contents. I also cancel my liability and collision when it's in storage.

I would do lots of shopping on finance companies too.

We ended up going through our credit union. Shorter term, but WAY less interest.

If it was the finance company that called to offer you insurance, it was most likely life insurance, so if you were to die the trailer would be paid off.

First --

OP mentioned Finance Company, doubt he can go 1 minute with out collision/comp insurance whether in storage or not.

Second --

My TT insurance is ~$200 a year, it is absolutely not worth my time nor the risk to cancel portions of the coverage while in storage. It would be just my luck some kid will be playing in the storage yard and hurt themselves on my TT. A TT, like a boat or pool, would fall into the attractive nuisance category and I could get sued. Not likely, but possible, and to save any portion of $200 it doesn't seem like a good idea -- it would cost considerably more than $200 to defend this case and I have way to much to lose.

If your storage place is the kind that puts you TT/RV away for you then maybe dump the collision, but if folks are spotting their own equipment then I would want coverage if case someone else damaged my TT and simply went on down the road with out saying anything,

How much are you saving by canceling Liability and Collision while in storage?

Is it worth it?

I have State Farm. Your TV policy provides liability and most other coverage. The TT coverage is for damage to the TT. State Farm covers my stick house and most everything else I own. If you are happy with your TV coverage you should probably stick with them.

Clubhouse, you make some good points. Our storage is on our property and NO ONE is going to bother it. If that's not a problem and your summers are short, or you park it for months wile occupying it, I see it worth five minutes to call the insurer. I prefer not to pay their premium when they have no risk much of the year. But you're right about finance company wanting comp, probably collision, too. I keep comp, as the barn could burn down. My insurer won't cancel only collision and let me keep comp on the cars, but will on the trailer.

As for shopping financing, RV rates are usually quite a bit higher than auto loans. If you own a valuable car it may be fairly easy to halve the interest rate by refinancing an auto to pay for the RV. In my case the auto loan was 1.74% vs. 6 or more for an RV. Happy to give out the name of the credit union I use. And yes, that rate was good on a used car, not just a new purchase.

Happy camping to the OP.

My camper is insured through same company as our house and cars. Haven't been able to beat their price. My camper insurance is just under 200 so like clubhouse not worth it to cancel parts when not in use. And our camper is stored in the back of our property...
