Travel Trailer Insurance in Alabama
Travel trailers need specialized insurance coverage to protect your investment on the road, at campgrounds, and in storage.
Specialized travel trailer insurance covers your camper, fifth wheel, or toy hauler anywhere you travel—including tornado damage, theft in storage, and liability while parked at campgrounds.
What does travel trailer insurance cover?
Travel trailer insurance provides comprehensive protection for your camper, fifth wheel, or toy hauler. Coverage includes physical damage (collision, hail, wind, fire, theft), personal belongings inside the trailer, attached equipment (awnings, generators, solar panels), liability while parked at campgrounds, emergency expenses if damaged away from home, and roadside assistance. You can add replacement cost coverage to avoid depreciation and total loss replacement for newer trailers. Expect $200-$800/year depending on trailer value, usage, and coverage options.

Alabama Travel Trailer Risks
Tornado and Wind Damage
Travel trailers are extremely vulnerable to Alabama's tornado season (March-May). Even moderate winds can flip trailers.
Wind deductibles are often 1-2% of trailer value ($300-$1,000). Make sure you understand your deductible before storm season.
Theft in Rural Storage
Travel trailers stored on rural Alabama property are prime targets for theft. Thieves target trailers with valuable equipment.
Installing wheel locks, hitch locks, and GPS tracking can reduce theft premiums by 10-15%.
Seasonal Usage Gaps
Many Alabama families use trailers only in summer. Storage-only coverage during off-season can save money.
Switching to storage coverage for 6 months can save 40-50% on annual premiums.
What's NOT Covered
Travel trailer insurance has important exclusions. Know the gaps before you hit the road.
