Understanding the RV Insurance Claim Process

=

Step 1: Initiating Your Insurance Claim

  • Only the policyholder or lienholder can start a claim.
  • Contact your insurance provider and provide details of the incident.
  • Expect to give a recorded statement about what happened.
  • Receive your claim number – this is important for tracking your claim.

Step 2: Types of Insurance Claims

Not all insurance claims are the same. Knowing the difference can help you navigate the process more effectively.

📌 Collision Claim

  • Covers damage from driving-related accidents (e.g., hitting another vehicle, object, or structure).
  • May increase your insurance premium if you’re found at fault.
  • Typically involves a deductible that you must pay.

📌 Comprehensive Claim

  • Covers non-collision damage (e.g., weather, vandalism, theft, or falling objects).
  • Usually does NOT increase your premium.
  • Different deductibles may apply depending on your policy.

Step 3: Providing the Right Documentation

Insurance companies often require the following: 

Photos of the damage from multiple angles.
Incident report or police report (if applicable).
Insurance policy details for verification.
Vehicle registration and ownership documents.

What Happens After Filing a Claim?

Getting an Estimate & Approving Repairs

  • You have the right to choose your repair shop – don’t let insurers force you to use their preferred facility.
  • Your insurance provider may conduct an independent damage assessment, but one expert estimate from McBride’s RV is usually sufficient.
  • Once approved, repairs can begin immediately at our state-of-the-art facility.

💡 McBride’s RV can assist with documentation and ensure everything is submitted correctly for a smooth approval process.

These guys are great. Certified mechanics and well organized. You definately get what you pay for. I’ve been coming here for many years and they always take care of my coach. Thanks Mc Brides!

Targhibi Targhibi

I went to other RV repair shops, they wrongly diagnosed which cost me 5 months of stress and $2K+ in fees. McBride team find problem, replace the correct part under 5 days at reasonable price and wash my RV for free too.

Chizzo Berndizzo

I’ve used McBride’s RV for years. They have always been professional, thorough, and provide excellent service. I have gotten all repairs and maintenance there because I trust them. They keep us updated with our trailer service and get the work done in a timely manner.
I will continue to use them for our trailer needs.

Frank Hernandez

Quick to get in. quick turn around. quality work. The dealership couldnt get me for 6 to 8 weeks. Mc Bride got me in within a few days. They fixed my problem within a week and got the trailer back to me. We came across this place last year after an accident. They did a great job fixing our trailer and making new again. This time we had a fridge problem. Thanks guys for being great!

Mike Vieira

The staff was very professional and courteous. They were very accommodating too. We had a very small window of time to get our coach in and they made it happened. We’ll be using McBride’s again.

Jean-Claude Molyn

I want to start by saying thank you so much to the McBride’s RV Service & Body Shop team! My 2006 Fleetwood Discovery was unfortunately broken into with body damage. McBride’s team was very professional and fast at getting all repairs completed, while handling everything with the insurance company. All the repairs superseded my expectations! I am very impressed with the work McBride’s provides. I will definitely be using McBride’s services in the future. I give them 10 stars out of 5 stars!! AWESOME JOB TEAM!!! Thank You.
