North Dakota RV Insurance
North Dakota stretches from rolling plains to Badlands, from Fargo’s city energy to the quiet wide horizons of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Whether you’re towing a travel trailer across vast prairie roads or parking your Class A motorhome near Lake Sakakawea, RV ownership here brings both freedom and exposure. With long travel distances, extreme weather, and remote locations, having the right North Dakota RV insurance means peace of mind along every mile.
North Dakota also sees strong seasonal changes—freezing winters, snowstorms, wide‑open summer skies, and occasional hail or wind events. Your RV is exposed not only to the road, but to the elements when stored, when parked at campsites, or during travel through rural routes. Proper insurance helps protect your investment—your RV, its contents, and your liability—so you can explore the Peace Garden State without worry.
North Dakota RV Insurance Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If you drive a motorized RV (Class A, B, or C), North Dakota law requires you to carry liability insurance. This covers bodily injury (what you might owe others if you cause injury) and property damage (damage you cause to others’ property).
Towable RVs—travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop‑ups—aren’t required by the state to carry separate RV liability insurance, but liability is expected through the tow vehicle while in transit. For full protection of the trailer itself (damage, theft, weather losses), optional coverages are strongly recommended.
Because of the vast distances and remote roads, breakdowns or accidents can quickly become costly. Extreme weather—from freezing winter storms, snow, sleet, to summer hail or wind—can damage your RV in motion or at rest.
Storage in off‑grid or rural lots increases exposure to vandalism, theft, rodents, or damage by animals. Urban traffic adds another risk if you travel near or through cities. Insurance not only ensures you meet legal requirements, but safeguards your home-on-wheels, your travel gear, and your personal finances if something unexpected occurs.
- Bodily injury per person: $25,000
- Bodily injury per accident: $50,000
- Property damage liability per accident: $25,000\
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): $30,000 per person
Note: These are the state minimums. Many RV owners opt for higher liability limits and additional coverages—especially in areas with severe weather or long rural routes—to better protect themselves and their rigs.
RV insurance premiums in North Dakota can vary widely. The cost depends on the type and value of your RV, how often you travel, where it is stored, your driving history, and the levels of coverage you select. Motorhomes generally cost more than towables because of their self‑propelled nature, and full‑time use or poor storage conditions can raise rates. Seasonally used or infrequently driven RVs often pay less. Bundling insurance policies and maintaining a good record usually help reduce premiums.

Unique Aspects of RV Ownership in North Dakota
North Dakota RV owners often navigate long drives between service points, making roadside help and reliable tires more critical than in more densely populated states. Drastic seasonal changes—cold winters and warm summers—mean your RV will face both freezing damage and sun or heat exposure. Proper winterization, secure storage, and choosing materials and systems in the RV that can tolerate harsh conditions are common concerns.
Additionally, storage in rural areas or private lots is frequent. While often more affordable, such storage locations may offer less protection from moisture, wildlife, or theft. Many RVers invest in off‑season protection, exterior covers, and content insurance to prepare for time off the road.
