Had insurance thru national interstate for 6yrs now. Had to file my first claim 2 weeks ago after a water line started leaking while we were in the mountains...we continued our vacation instead of returning to get it fixed. The claim was denied because "long term water damage" is excluded...think long and hard before choosing RV insurance. Even this site is paid by insurance companies to advertise there product...do your own research and talk to other RVers....I always thought it was interesting we are legally required to pay insurance companies, but there not required to pay us...you may also look into self insurance or bonded insurance in your state, the money you save on payments might...

we've stayed with this company because it actively loweres our rates every year, the longer we stay . Unlike other companies who let that " slip by". I like that i can call them and the office women have been more than real and easy to communicate with. I can just get on the pc and look at my documents or make payment. I even have gotten personal call/ voice mail to remind me of the upcoming renewal date, which didnt offend me ~ at all. wowza.THATS real customer service. We've had some claims in recent years, but everything went swiftly. I cant speak for the 3rd party situations. But we feel that we are heard AND listened to and thats why we are happy with this insurance... Read More

I had to find out that my insurance had been canceled for non-payment when I called in a claim that I knew wouldn't meet my deductible but I wanted noted regardless. Talking with customer services was pointless. They couldn't care less. I also spoke with a rep from RV America who called and basically was told the same thing. Too bad! I never received any invoice or the notices they say they sent. No telling where those went if they actually did send them. As I told them, why would I ignor a $200 payment and then call in a claim two-weeks after they canceled my policy. This not only left me without coverage but now has put my loan in jeopardy. I will never do business with this... Read More
