3 Leading Causes of Traffic Fatalities in the U.S.
As you start to think about risks on the road and what your need for RV insurance coverage might be, consider these statistics about the leading causes of motor vehicle fatalities:
- Drunk driving: 32%
- Speeding: 31%
- Distraction: 16%
When you hit the highway or head to a local music festival in your Class B motorhome, remember that you face all the same risks as every other driver on the road, and more.
Because you carry your belongings with you, have decreased visibility due to the size of the rig, and operate a vehicle that can be top-heavy and tricky to drive, you probably have a higher risk of a major accident than an average sedan.
What Is Camper Van Insurance?
Camper Vans are considered Class B recreational vehicles, which are the most affordable type of RV to insure. Depending on the insurance company you work with, the Class B vehicle type can include vehicles that:
- Are used for camping, such as a camper van, conversion van, or a VW camper
- Typically have an extension or raised roof, a small kitchen/kitchenette, sleeping accommodations, a 110-volt battery hookup, and a toilet
- Range in size from 16 to 21 feet in length
- Accommodate two to four sleepers
- Have limited space and are generally used for short trips or as a second family vehicle
Class B camper van insurance is a specialized motorhome insurance policy that is required for these types of vehicles.
How Much Is RV Insurance for a Class B Camper Van?
The cost for camper van or VW camper insurance can vary quite a bit. Your specific costs will depend on a variety of factors such as:

- Your driving record
- The type of RV insurance coverage you buy
