Auto Insurance
RV Insurance in Ontario
Not all RVs are insured the same way. A motorhome (Class A, B or C) drives under its own power and legally needs a full auto-style policy, while a travel trailer or fifth wheel is towed and needs its own coverage for contents, theft and vacation liability — even though it borrows your tow vehicle's liability while attached. BrokerUnion, an independent RIBO-licensed brokerage, sorts out which coverage your RV actually needs and compares markets across Ontario to find the right fit, whether you take it out for weekends or live in it full-time.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does RV insurance cost in Ontario?
It depends heavily on the type of RV. Travel trailers typically run 300–800 per year, fifth wheels somewhat more, and motorhomes anywhere from $800 to $5,000+ per year depending on class and value — a large Class A can run higher still. Comparing multiple insurers is the best way to find a competitive rate for your specific unit.
What's the difference between RV insurance and travel trailer insurance?
A motorhome (Class A, B or C) drives under its own power, so it's a motor vehicle requiring a full auto-style policy with mandatory liability, accident benefits and uninsured coverage. A travel trailer or fifth wheel is towed and isn't a motor vehicle — it borrows your tow vehicle's liability while attached and needs separate coverage for physical damage, contents and vacation liability.
Is travel trailer insurance mandatory in Ontario?
No, not legally required the way motorhome insurance is, since a towable trailer isn't a motor vehicle. However, your auto policy typically won't cover the trailer itself for theft, damage or contents while parked or in storage, so most owners carry a separate policy for real protection — it's optional by law but risky to skip.
Does home insurance cover a stolen RV or trailer?
Generally, no — or only very limited coverage for belongings inside if it's stolen while away from your home property. A standard home policy isn't built to protect an RV or trailer itself. Dedicated RV or trailer insurance with comprehensive coverage is the reliable way to protect against theft and vandalism.
Does RV insurance cover my belongings inside the trailer?
Yes, up to policy limits. Contents coverage typically includes camping equipment, bedding, cookware and built-in appliances. High-value items like laptops, cameras or jewelry are usually better covered under your home insurance policy instead, since trailer contents coverage often caps out around a few thousand dollars.
Do I need RV insurance if my trailer is permanently parked at a campsite?
Yes, but the coverage looks different. If your trailer is stationary at a seasonal site rather than mobile, you'll want coverage tailored to that use, and should mention any additions like a deck, patio or permanent structure to your broker, since those may need separate coverage from a standard mobile-use policy.
Can I insure my RV for full-time living?
Yes. If your RV is your primary residence rather than a recreational vehicle, most insurers offer a full-timer policy with expanded liability and personal property coverage similar to a homeowner's policy. This differs from standard RV insurance, so it's important to tell your broker if you live in your unit year-round.
