To buy or not to buy insurance?

I sold my old travel trailer after ten years of use and I just ordered a new rig that tops out at $30,000. I never bought insurance on my old trailer because I paid cash and did not finance. I'm paying cash for this rig too. Since I have more money in this trailer I think I might buy it just in case, at least for the first two years I own it. It would cost me around $600 per year with a thousand dollar deductible. What is the opinion of everyone else.
  • Insurance (collision/comprehensive) on my TT is about $200/yr as a rider on my auto policy with $1000 deductible. I highly recommend it, but your rate seems a bit high.
  • Can you afford a $30000 (-1000 deductable, 600yr premiums) if something should happen, fire, water, accident, that totalled your investment?
    Maybe re think after 5 or 10 years.
