If you’re gearing up for another season in your fifth wheel camper, trailer, or RV, it’s time to start thinking about dewinterizing your rig and making sure your RV insurance is dialed in.
At The Mitchell Insurance Group, we’re not just insurance professionals—we’re fifth wheel owners ourselves. We know the thrill of getting your rig road-ready, and we know the risks that come with life on the road. That’s why we specialize in helping you protect your toys with coverage that fits how you travel.
Why Fifth Wheel Camper Insurance Is Different
Insuring a fifth wheel camper isn’t the same as insuring a car or a home—it’s both. These rigs need a policy that can cover:
- Comprehensive and collision coverage for towing and parked damage
- Personal property coverage inside the camper
- Full-timer or vacation liability, depending on how you use your rig
- Towing and roadside assistance in case you’re stranded
- Coverage for hail, wind, theft, and vandalism
- Pest and vermin coverage to protect against unwanted critters
We also insure travel trailers, campers, UTVs, boats, and golf carts, so your entire adventure setup is protected from top to bottom.
Dewinterizing Your Rig: A Full Pre-Season Safety Checklist
Before your first big trip of the year, give your rig the care it needs to stay safe and reliable on the road. Dewinterizing isn’t just about flushing the lines—it’s about checking all systems for roadworthiness. Here’s our go-to checklist:
- Flush and sanitize freshwater lines
- Replace water filters and test the water pump
- Charge and test batteries
- Check propane gas lines, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers
- Replace propane tanks if they have expired or are corroded
- Check tire pressure, tread depth, and look for dry rot
- Inspect shocks and repack RV wheel bearings
- Look underneath for underbelly cracks or insulation damage
- Inspect roof seals, window caulking, and slide-out gaskets
