Understanding RV Dealership Insurance in Canada
The RV industry in Canada is thriving. From family-friendly travel trailers to luxury motorhomes, recreational vehicles are in high demand. Yet with opportunity comes risk, and without proper coverage, one incident could set your business back significantly.
RV dealership insurance, or commercial RV insurance, are essential for protecting your financial stability in this high-stakes market. These policies safeguard against common industry threats, including theft, property damage, liability claims, and operational interruptions.
As a leading independent broker, ONA is proud to offer unbiased advice and custom-fit commercial RV rental insurance solutions. We take time to understand your business model, whether you sell, service, or rent RVs, and build a plan that fits your needs and budget.

Key Risks For RV Dealerships and Recreational Dealer Services
Your dealership’s exposure goes far beyond the showroom. ONA’s team identifies and addresses the specific risks that recreational vehicle dealers face every day:
1. Theft of High-Value Inventory (Dealer’s Physical Damage)
RVs are high-ticket items, making them targets for theft or vandalism on open lots. Commercial RV insurance with Dealer’s Physical Damage coverage ensures your stock is protected, helping you recover quickly from unexpected losses.
2. Test-Drive Accidents
Allowing customers to test drive RVs is great for sales, but it carries liability risks. If a test drive leads to an accident or injury, RV dealership insurance can help protect your business from costly claims and repair bills.
3. Service Garage Liability
Many dealerships operate full-service garages for repairs, inspections, or installations. These areas pose risks like employee injuries or damage to customer vehicles. RV dealer insurance includes Garage Keepers Liability, covering these potential incidents.
4. Additional Risks
Modern RV dealerships face a range of evolving threats, including:
- Weather-related damage to outdoor inventory due to Canada’s variable weather.
- Slip-and-fall accidents in showrooms, lots, or service areas leading to liability claims.
ONA helps ensure you’re covered from every angle, giving you peace of mind to focus on your customers and growth.
