First, you have legal responsibility for property damage or bodily injury to third parties in an accident you cause, and you may face a lawsuit that could devastate your finances. Second, without liability insurance, you could face major fines and liscence suspension. Dallas even has a regulation that allows the police to impound your vehicle if you get stopped and cannot prove you have coverage.
If you own a camper that is towed behind a car or truck, you may be able to extend your automobile insurance to cover the trailer. A local agent can help you find the right coverage for your needs.

Dallas RV Insurance Types
These are common RV insurance types that you either may select individually or buy packaged together. You can discuss these options with a local agent.
- Liability: For motorized vehicles, liability coverage has to meet or exceed state minimums. For towed campers, you might have enough liability coverage extended from your regular auto or truck insurance policy. Check with your agent as you may have to add your trailer to your auto insurance to get full coverage.
- Collision: Collision coverage insures your property if the vehicle is damaged in an accident.
- Comprehensive: Comprehensive coverage insures your property from other-than-collision damage from storms, thefts or vandalism. Since this city is in a region known as “Tornado Alley,” owners might be interested to know that this is the type of coverage you need to protect your RV from wind damage.
- Contents coverage: Contents coverage insures your personal belongings kept inside the RV.
Your agent may also offer you some other options in addition to basic coverage. For example, many insurers offer roadside assistance. An independent agent can help you understand your options and find you coverage that protects you when the unexpected happens.
