I have a question about how to handle vehicle insurance for an "RV" and I'm hoping someone can help. I put "RV" in quotes because my vehicle is going to be a conversion van that I slowly build out myself. So it's not going to be a traditional RV, like a Class A/B/C. But I am going to be living in it full-time as I travel through the US ……..
Be forewarned, insurance companies LOVE things like rules, regulations & laws. They also love lawyers.
Calling an insurance company and using terms like “DIY RV” might result in subdued giggles, a click and then dial-tone.
RV’s that have 120 volt wiring, built in LPG, and a couple of other items require proof of compliance. Normally that’s the RVIA seal, but other bodies certify them also.
When you tell them you’re going to live in it their ears will definitely perk up.
