Insurance requirements on units:  

Travel Trailers - The vehicle being used to tow the trailer must have full coverage insurance. The liability from this vehicle will cover the trailer. We only provide collision and comprehensive insurance. 

Class A and Class C motorhomes require insurance to be provided in 1 of 2 ways:

-         Renter can get an insurance binder through their personal auto insurance carrier, most insurance companies do not charge for this. This is just an extension of the current policy stating the RV will be covered for the trip. We have a letter that we will fax the renter’s company requesting a binder for the rental period.

       -   The second option is to purchase insurance through our commercial insurance carrier (MBA insurance) for $20 a day
