There is a newer style of camping that is the opposite of "roughing it." It is glamorous camping, sometimes called "glamping." You can think of it this way, glamping is like taking accommodations and amenities that are the equivalent of a five-star hotel with you and parking your luxury RV in a natural setting. You can enjoy all the luxury and creature comforts while you get in touch with nature.

Special Insurance Needs for Luxury RVs and Glamping

By design, RVs for glamping are luxurious. They can be worth millions when they are fully decked out and customized. A-level Hollywood movie stars like to use these RVs for their accommodations when on a location shoot.

Standard RV Insurance is not adequate for appropriate coverage. You will want to have specialized, layered coverage for high-value interiors and customization.

You will want to work with your agent at Janis-Shunta Insurance in Muskegon, MI to obtain agreed replacement value coverage for equipment and upgrades.

Special coverage may be needed for expensive items such as custom cabinetry, marble countertops, smart tech (including your satellite dish, Wi-Fi and automation), and a solar power system.

Layered Insurance Considerations

Here is a checklist of things to discuss with your insurance agent:

• General Liability for Guest Injuries (including full-timer liability if you live in your RV)
• Comprehensive Coverage for Travel Risks
• Specialized Repair and Replacement
• Personal Belongings Insurance (for electronics, jewelry, and other valuables)
• Outdoor and Environmental Risk (wildfires)
• Equipment Protection (hot tub, kayaks, bicycles, and other sports equipment)
• Boat Coverage (if you haul a boat)
• Recreational Vehicles Coverage (ATVs, motorcycles)
• Other insurance you may need if you rent out your RV is commercial insurance and possibly business interruption insurance.

This list is not exhaustive but gives you some starting points to discuss.

Consult with your agent at Janis-Shunta Insurance, serving Muskegon, MI, and the surrounding area, for all your recreational insurance needs.

Anyone who owns a recreational vehicle hates to see the winter months come. Putting your vehicles away for the next season means taking steps to protect them. If you have a travel trailer you use and rely on, you might expect that your recreational insurance policy will cover any losses you have with it. But that may not always include winter damage.

At Janis-Shunta Insurance, we offer recreational insurance in and around Muskegon, MI that aims to meet all of your needs and minimize your financial risks.

Will Recreational Insurance Cover Winter Damage?

In many situations, recreational insurance provides a level of protection against unavoidable and accidental incidents. If the travel trailer is stored properly, but a roof collapses, causing damage to it, or someone breaks into it, and that leads to winter damage, you can expect your comprehensive coverage to pay for those losses up to the value of your policy. Keep in mind, there are limits to this.

These policies do not cover normal wear and tear. That means if the damage is due to a lack of sealing and protection, and not just from a winter accident, that may impact your ability to receive compensation for the losses. It also depends on the type and the value of coverage you have for your vehicle. If your policy does not offer comprehensive protections, and only has the minimum required liability insurance, you may not have the financial protection you need.
