The popularity of RVs is increasing in this state. In 2010, Albuquerque began hosting an annual convention called the New Mexico RV, Boat and Travel Show. Here, those interested in the RV lifestyle can few new models complete with new amenities to make living in one of these motor homes more comfortable.

New Mexico defines an RV as any vehicle housing a camping body that has a primary use as temporary living quarters while traveling. There are several different types of recreational vehicles from which you can choose and an RV insurance policy is suitable for any one of them. The type of vehicle you own will influence your insurance costs. The types of RVs you are likely to see on the roads in New Mexico include:

A new RV can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $500,000 dollars. Because ownership involves a very large investment, it is important that these vehicles are protected by suitable and comprehensive insurance policies. RVs are unique in that they need auto insurance coverage for the times that they are being driven on New Mexico roadways and they need homeowners insurance coverage for the times that they are used at homes. An RV insurance policy provides both.

Policies may differ from one insurance company to another but all will include general liability coverage and contents coverage as part of the standard insurance package. There are many other coverage options that RV owners may be interested in. Some insurance companies will include some, or all, of these options as part of a standard package. Others will require you to choose the options that you want and add them to your policy individually. These options include:

It can be difficult to decide how much coverage to purchase. Recreational vehicles are expensive investments so it is a good idea to consult a financial advisor or an insurance professional for help making this decision.

As far as liability insurance coverage is concerned, the New Mexico state minimum requirements may be too low to protect you if a serious accident happens. Recreational vehicles are very large and heavy and therefore have the potential to cause a great deal of property damage as well as severe injuries to third parties. If your liability coverage is too low, you will be responsible for payments out-of-pocket, and this can prove quite damaging to your finances. It is therefore strongly recommended that you purchase as much liability insurance as you can comfortably afford. You can further protect yourself by supplementing your policy with an umbrella insurance policy.

When it comes to covering your personal property, including both your motorhome itself and the personal property you keep within it, you will want to be sure to have enough coverage to compensate you if your RV suffers a total loss because of a catastrophe such as a fire or a tornado. You will also have some options to choose from. These will increase the cost of your policy but may provide you with much-needed coverage in the wake of a disaster:
