Home Is Where You Park It: Understanding Motorhome Insurance in Texas
Traveling across Texas in a motorhome offers unmatched freedom and comfort. Whether you’re a weekend traveler or live on the road full-time, your motorhome is a valuable asset and a key part of your lifestyle. Protecting it with the right insurance is essential. At Rollo Insurance, we know the unique challenges Texas motorhome owners face and are ready to help you understand the coverages you need to travel with confidence.
Texas Minimum Insurance Requirements for Motorhomes
Texas law requires motorhomes to carry liability insurance just like cars and motorcycles. The minimum limits are:
- $30,000 Bodily Injury per Person
- $60,000 Total Bodily Injury per Accident
- $25,000 Property Damage per Accident
While these minimums meet legal standards, they may not fully cover the risks tied to motorhome ownership and operation.

Why do you Need Motorhome Insurance?
Motorhomes combine the risks of driving a large vehicle with those of owning a home on wheels.
- Larger size and weight make driving and parking more challenging, increasing accident risks.
- Appliances and systems like plumbing, electrical, and generators can fail or cause damage such as fires or leaks.
- Personal belongings, furniture, and electronics inside your motorhome need protection against theft or damage.
- When parked at campsites, liability for injuries or property damage to others becomes a concern.
- Awning and slide-outs are vulnerable to damage from wind, trees, or accidents.
- Breakdowns far from home can lead to costly towing, repairs, and lodging.
- Serious accidents or disasters can result in total loss of your motorhome.
Additional Coverages to Consider
For full protection, motorhome owners often add these coverages:
- Comprehensive and Collision: Covers physical damage from accidents, weather, theft, or fire.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: Protects you and passengers if hit by a driver with insufficient insurance.
- Medical Payments: Covers immediate medical costs for injuries sustained in an accident, no matter who is at fault.
- Personal Property Coverage: Protects your belongings inside the motorhome.
- Campsite Liability: Provides coverage for injuries or damages that happen while parked at a campsite.
- Towing and Roadside Assistance: Helps with towing and emergency services, which can be expensive for large vehicles.
- Emergency Expense Coverage: Covers lodging and transportation costs if your motorhome is unusable during travel.
- Awning and Slide-Out Coverage: Protects these easily damaged parts.
- Total Loss Replacement: Pays to replace your motorhome with a new one instead of depreciated value, especially important for newer models.
What Affects the Cost of Motorhome Insurance in Texas?
Insurance rates vary depending on several factors:
- Type and size of motorhome (Class A, B, or C)
- Age and value of the vehicle
- Driving record and past claims
- Coverage limits and deductibles chosen
- How often and how you use your motorhome
- Storage location when not in use
Generally, annual premiums range from $800 up to $3,000 or more. Full-time motorhome owners and those with luxury Class A models typically pay higher rates. The best way to know your cost is by getting a customized quote.
What Is Temporary Motorhome Insurance?
Temporary motorhome insurance covers short-term use, such as rentals, protecting both renters and rental companies. For full-time residents living in their motorhome, a more comprehensive policy is available. This type of insurance often resembles homeowners coverage, offering higher personal property limits and liability protection tailored to continuous living on the road.
