What are the risks specific to mobile homes ?

Mobile homes face unique risks that require special attention when it comes to insurance :

  • Vulnerability to weather : Because of their lightweight structure, mobile homes are more susceptible to damage from high winds, storms, and even tornadoes. Roofs and siding are particularly vulnerable.
  • Increased fire risk : Mobile homes' electrical and heating systems, which are often more compact, can present a higher fire risk if not properly maintained.
  • Transport damage : When moving a mobile home, structural damage can occur, requiring special coverage during transit.
  • Theft and vandalism : Mobile homes, often located in less secure areas, can be more exposed to the risk of burglary or vandalism.
  • Water damage : The pipes and roofs of mobile homes, especially older models, can be more susceptible to leaks and water damage.

Types of coverage available

Comprehensive mobile home insurance should include the following :

  • Structure insurance : Covers damage to the structure itself, including walls, roof, windows, and doors. At Covalen, we offer guaranteed replacement value options to ensure optimal protection.
  • Personal Property Protection : This policy protects your personal belongings inside the mobile home against theft, damage, or destruction. We offer flexible coverage tailored to your specific needs.
  • Civil liability : Protects against claims if someone is injured on your property. Our coverage includes legal protection in the event of legal action.
  • Additional living expenses : If your mobile home becomes uninhabitable due to covered damage, this coverage helps pay for temporary accommodation.

Factors influencing the cost of insurance

Several factors are taken into account when determining the cost of your mobile home insurance :

Age and condition of the mobile home : Newer or well-maintained homes generally benefit from lower premiums.

Location : Geographical location influences risk. Areas prone to natural disasters may have higher premiums.

Security measures : Installing security systems, smoke detectors, or storm anchors can reduce premiums.

Replacement value vs. actual value : The choice between these two coverage options will affect the amount of your premiums.

Selected deductible : A higher deductible can reduce your premiums.

What we can cover

  • Weather damage (high winds, hail)
  • Protection against shifting or transport risks
  • Coverage for foundations and anchoring systems
  • Civil liability for mobile home parks
  • Options for outdoor equipment (terraces, sheds)
