Has anyone figured out how to insure the personal items in a vehicle that you live in? [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]([/font][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Toyota sienna [/font][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]mini camper in my case[/font][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif].) [/font]I’m talking about all the non-factory personal stuff that would fall out if a giant picked up your vehicle and shook it. Homeowners and renters insurance often cover personal stuff stolen from your car but what if you don’t own or rent a house?

Thanks!?
 
But how can you get renters insurance if you aren’t renting? Would it work to list my sons address?
 
Renters insurance is for people who don't own a house. They don't care if you actually rent. Just don't tell them you live in your vehicle. Most auto insurance companies offer renters insurance.

Here is a good article at Escapees website:

As a side note, Escapees has supported, advocated for, and educated about all things RV for a long, long time. I am an Escapee and the organization has not steered me wrong once. The information on the website is searchable and relaible.

As for insuring a self-converted van, this blog post may be helpful:
