Unfortunately the plans offered in each state are based on what the insurance companies see as the needs of the people in that state.
SD is limited in their traveling population.
Texas and Florida have larger populations which means more insurance companies want to be part of their plans.
Texas at least also includes a large number of transit workers. Not those in Texas to work, but people from Texas which travel around the country to work. Including a lot of people who do not RV. That gives the insurance companies incentive to offer national plans to capture that market.

You can be sure if there was enough of a market, insurance companies would offer the coverage.
I agree. I could get coverage for my state, but I'm opting for the national coverage for about 3-4 times the cost. I just want to make sure that if something happens that we are covered and nothing will come back and bite us in the rear. But this is through the county government, as we are teachers.
