Mobile home insurance is required which has been fairly inexspensive -about $250.00 per year is what I was paying or $30.00 per month. It is similar to homeowner’s insurance, but it’s written specifically to meet the needs of owners of mobile homes.
Coverage for these kinds of claims and lawsuits is called liability coverage. Claims might include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even property damage. Coverage would typically include financial protection for the house, personal items, injuries incurred on other people for whom you are liable and additional living expenses. It also insures you while you are one the move. Coverages and benefits can vary dramatically from policy to policy and from company to company.
Homeowner’s policies are designed to provide financial protection in the event of damage to your home, such as fire, lightning or windstorm. Your policy will also protect your personal property, such as furniture that is damaged as a result of a fire, or the theft of electronic equipment.
Prices can be different from one company to another. The Insurance Information Institute recommends getting at least three price quotes on home owner insurance. Price too low and prospects doubt you’re any good and you lose credibility. But if you’re new to the market, how do you know where to position yourself for maximum results and success?
Shopping for mobile home insurance is slightly different than shopping for insurance on a stationary home. The best home insurance is the one that provides you with the most benefits policy-wise. Shopping for mobile home insurance is slightly different than shopping for insurance on a stationary home. Although the coverages are similar, there are a few differences.
Mobile home insurance is similar to homeowner’s insurance, but it’s written specifically to meet the needs of owners of mobile homes. Your policy covers your mobile home and its contents and offers personal liability protection. It is also available from the company and this is available with a range of benefits. For example, free continental travel cover is provided as part of the policy which means that a family can have peace of mind when travelling on the continent.
Mobile home insurance is often provided on an actual cash value basis, so significant depreciation can be a major concern for owners of mobile homes. The policy’s coverage extends to the mobile home’s equipment and accessories that were originally built into the structure.
Mobile home insurance is essential yet few mobile home owners actually take it out. If you think about it, you are leaving a home that you actually spend very little time in completely unguarded and vulnerable.

Help answer the question about home insurance
Does home insurance cover when you rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire?Does home insurance cover when I rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire (assuming the house completely burnt down)? If not, do I need to buy landlord's insurance or ask the tenant to buy renter's insurance? Where can i compare home insures? Thanks
Not unless you signed a lease for over a year.
Are you in Florida? American Tradition is a brand new insurance company operating in Florida, and they are NOT a rated company by AM Best, at their own request. That's a major red flag.
When I went to their website, it looks like American Tradition is for standard homes, and Modern is for mobile homes. I'd guess, that there's a strong possibility that you got a quote for a regular home, not a mobile home, and that's why you're seeing the price difference.
I would use caution, when moving to a company like this. Based on their website, they're counting on Lloyds of London to backup their claims, AND, the state of Florida.
I don't know if your home insurance covers that. call and ask.
Look in the Yellow pages for " Home Inspection Service". Call someone and they will direct you to the proper number.

Foremost will bring in adjusters from out of state to help with all the claims. However, the claims can only be worked one at a time.
It could be a several weeks before an adjuster gets in contact with you. Believe me, it's not the adjuster just ignoring you. You see the damage around you…everyone needs an adjuster. Usually insurance companies try to get to the claims that homes are unlivable first.
We can't really give you a time line. All I can tell you to do, is take what ever steps you can to keep the rest of your property from being damaged and keep your receipts.
It's going to be covered under a garage liability policy – that's a hybrid policy that SHOULD give you the coverages they are requiring.
As you've no doubt discovered, not many companies like writing this type of coverage. If you have a state auto reinsurance fund, it could likely end up there.
It's EXPENSIVE. The liability can be based on your gross sales, and/or the number of trucks you own, or your payroll, it depends on the state and the carrier. Expect to pay a MINIMUM of $5,000 per truck or per employee, if you're a one man shop.
Now, if you HAVE garage liability, and they're also looking for GL, it's going to be surplus lines. Same agent should be able to place it. THAT'S because the policy is going to be worded funny to exclude all auto related operations – which are properly picked up under the garage liability.
A local, independent agent should be able to get you quotes. But it's going to take them a week or so, so allow extra time.
It depends on the coverage and what you set up with your insurance agent when you took out the policy on the mobile home. Generally speaking, the insurance company will forward a check for the pay-off value of your loan to the mortgage company. If any monies are left-over and your policy is written to reflect this, the insurance company will then forward a check to you for the difference between your insured amount and the loan pay-off amount. At this point, you can offer to buy the mobile home back from the mortgage company (probably at less than market value) since it has been "totaled". If you don't buy the mobile home back from your insurance carrier, you will be forced to move out and leave the home for the insurance carrier to deal with the disposal of your "totaled" mobile home. If you do buy the mobile home back from your insurance company, it will probably be next to uninsurable because it has been "totaled" but at least you'll have your home. I would call the agent that wrote your policy binder to talk with him/her about the fine print on your insurance contract and what you need to do from this point forward. Good luck, and I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your home.
Ever loose your home to a tornado, wildfire, hurricane, termite infestation. Want to be the tip of the spear when it comes to preventing global warming?
Is your home owners insurance $800 a year but you would rather pay $174 a year these people insurance quote was this way and the insurance company reduced their rates to $174 because these homes just don’t burn.All this and more is in the video
“Modern Day Dream Homes” is a youtube video produced by the MDI institute.
It really depends on what your policy specifies. My loss of use portion of the policy will cover hotel bills/rental unit and living expenses while I am not able to live in my home due to a covered event. My loss of use has a coverage limit, so I would be paid up to that limit. It does not cover packing, moving or storage. I have a code upgrade coverage but it has limits, too. In your case, I suggest you read your policy and call either your agent or broker to clarify what coverages you have or don't have before you file for it. Best wishes and good luck.

I save money on it too.
Ah, Progressive was who I was going to say.
The big mobile home writers are Progressive, Foremost, and American Modern. And American Modern and Foremost won't let you manage policies online.
Sorry. You'll have to do it via mail or agent's office.
Do you have any financial obligation to the landlord? If you are renting the land from her, she may have your house as collateral, which means she can take the house if you don't pay the rent. In that case, she needs to know that you have insurance, because you would certainly have trouble paying the rent if a tornado ripped through there and flattened your house. In that case, your landlord could get the insurance money. Also, the landlord may want you to have liability insurance on the house, since she could be sued if someone got hurt on your property.
I don't know your specific situation, so I could be wrong – just some suggestions. You should talk to her about why she needs insurance info – it could be for one of the reasons stated above.
