looking for cheaper RV insurance

[BigSwick]

It is coming up on renewal time. Currently have National General Rv insurance. Any recommendations for a less costly company? No, I do not want to go without. Last year premium was 358, haven't got renewal notice yet for this year.

Don’t know how State Farm compares on price, but can say they are great when it comes time to pay. Have had SF on home, vehicles, and RV for over 30 years, and quite a number of claims. Always paid fast without question including $24,000+ on hail storm damage to home, $14,000+ on tail swing vs steel column on RV, and large claim on truck due to uninsured motorist hitting me.

I agree. They paid out right away with my motorhome. And they worked with me to keep it under the threshold for being totaled. Having spent a full year trying to get paid by my homeowner's (not State Farm) for the same incident, I can say that how they handle you during a claim is far more important than saving a few bucks.

GEICO came in with a better price for us.

Don't know if it is cheaper or not, but I have Farmer's Insurance of NC.

My insurance company always asks how they are doing. I respond that I never had a claim with them, so I only know they are timely at collecting the premium. I tell them to ask me again after I submit a claim.

X2. Paying less is no good if they screw you over when it's time for them to pay.

Really? You have a '21 Sirus and are complaining about $358/year?
