Mobile Home Insurance

Mobile & Manufactured Home Insurance

Mobile Home Insurance Built Around the Home You Own

Insurance for mobile homes, manufactured homes, single-wides, double-wides, homes in manufactured-home communities, and qualifying homes located on privately owned land.

Your home is more than the structure itself. The right policy may also help protect your belongings, attached improvements, other structures, personal liability, and qualifying additional living expenses after a covered loss.

Protection Designed for Manufactured Housing

What Can Mobile Home Insurance Help Cover?

Mobile and manufactured home insurance is designed specifically for qualifying factory-built homes. Depending on the policy, it may protect the home itself, personal belongings, other structures, personal liability, and additional living expenses.

Home Coverage

May help repair or replace qualifying covered damage to the manufactured home itself, subject to the selected limits, deductible, valuation provisions, exclusions, and policy terms.

Personal Property

May help protect qualifying furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics, kitchen items, decor, and other personal belongings after a covered loss.

Personal Liability

May help with qualifying claims when you are legally responsible for certain bodily injury or property damage involving another person.

Additional Living Expenses

May help with qualifying increased living costs when a covered loss makes the insured manufactured home temporarily uninhabitable.

Single-Wide Homes

Traditional single-section manufactured homes used as a primary residence, secondary residence, or qualifying seasonal home.

Double-Wide Homes

Larger manufactured homes assembled from multiple sections and installed at the property.

Homes in Mobile-Home Parks

Manufactured homes where the homeowner owns the structure but leases the lot or space from a mobile-home community.

Homes on Owned Land

Manufactured homes permanently located on property owned by the homeowner may involve additional structures and property features.

Older Mobile Homes

Older homes may still have insurance options depending on condition, updates, location, utilities, roof, installation, and insurance company guidelines.

Homes With Additions

Porches, decks, awnings, carports, room additions, storage rooms, ramps, garages, and other improvements should be disclosed and reviewed.

Where the Home Is Located Matters

Do You Lease the Lot or Own the Land?

Mobile-Home Community

You Own the Home and Lease the Space

Park or community agreements may include liability limits, proof-of-insurance requirements, or rules involving porches, carports, sheds, and other improvements.

Privately Owned Land

You Own the Home and Property

The insurance review may also include detached garages, sheds, fencing, driveways, permanent improvements, mortgage requirements, and other structures on the property.

Remember: The land itself is not insured the same way as the home. Tell the agency whether you lease the space or own the property so the insurance can be structured around the actual situation.

Mobile home insurance coverage review

Your Improvements Add Value

Have You Added a Porch, Deck, Carport, or Room?

Manufactured homes are often improved over time. Significant attached and detached additions should be disclosed so their value and insurance treatment can be reviewed.

Build the Policy Around the Actual Home

What Should You Review Before Buying Mobile Home Insurance?

Insurance companies may consider the home’s year, manufacturer, size, condition, roof, electrical system, plumbing, heating, installation, location, occupancy, additions, prior losses, and loss-settlement method.

Year & Manufacturer

Have the year manufactured, manufacturer, model, size, identification information, and title or registration available when possible.

Roof & Exterior

Roof age, material, condition, skirting, siding, windows, awnings, porches, decks, and exterior maintenance may affect eligibility.

Electrical & Plumbing

Insurance companies may review wiring, panels, plumbing materials, updates, water heaters, prior leaks, and general system condition.

Foundation & Tie-Downs

Installation, supports, anchoring, tie-down systems, foundation type, and maintenance may be relevant to both eligibility and weather exposure.

Occupancy & Location

Primary residence, seasonal occupancy, leased park space, privately owned land, and periods of vacancy should be accurately disclosed.

Loss-Settlement Method

Review whether the home is insured using replacement-cost, stated-value, agreed-value, actual-cash-value, or another applicable settlement method.

How a Covered Loss May Be Settled Matters

Purchase Price Is Not Always the Insurance Value

Home Size & Age

Single-wide, double-wide, and larger manufactured homes may have different values depending on size, age, construction, and condition.

Improvements & Additions

Roofing, flooring, remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, HVAC systems, porches, decks, carports, and room additions may affect the insured value.

Claim Valuation

Different policies may calculate qualifying covered losses differently, so the settlement provisions should be reviewed before choosing coverage.

Keep documentation of major improvements. Photographs, receipts, invoices, permits, purchase paperwork, titles, and other records may help when reviewing the home’s value and additions.

Wind & Hail

Coverage may be available for qualifying wind or hail damage depending on location, roof condition, deductible, insurance company, and policy terms.

Fire & Smoke

Qualifying fire and smoke damage to the home and insured personal property may be covered, subject to the policy.

Sudden Water Damage

Certain sudden and accidental plumbing or water losses may be covered depending on the source, cause, exclusions, and policy terms.

Flood & Earthquake

Flood and earthquake may require separate insurance or endorsements. Do not assume every natural-disaster exposure is included in the mobile-home policy.
