The Importance of GAP Protection for RVs
RVs are significant investments, and their value can depreciate rapidly, especially during the initial years of ownership. In the event of a total loss due to theft or an accident, your protection settlement may not be enough to cover the outstanding loan balance. GAP protection ensures that you're not left with a financial gap and are protected from potential out-of-pocket expenses.
How GAP Protection Works for RVs
In the event of a total loss, such as theft or a severe accident, your primary protection will typically provide a settlement based on the actual cash value of the RV. This settlement may fall short of the remaining loan balance. GAP protection kicks in to cover the difference, ensuring you're not left with a significant financial burden.
Benefits of GAP Protection for RV Owners
Investing in GAP protection for your RV offers several benefits, including:
- Financial Protection: GAP protection ensures that you’re not burdened with a loan balance if your RV is declared a total loss.
- Peace of Mind: You can enjoy your RV adventures without worrying about potential financial setbacks.
- Coverage for Depreciation: RVs can depreciate quickly, and GAP protection helps cover the gap between the depreciated value and the loan amount.
- Reduced Financial Stress: You won’t have to worry about paying off a loan for an RV that you no longer possess.
Factors to Consider When Choosing GAP Protection
When selecting GAP protection for your RV, consider the following factors:
- Coverage Details: Review the terms and conditions of the policy to understand what is covered and any limitations.
- Loan Terms: Consider the length of your loan and the potential for depreciation during the early years of ownership.
- Provider Reputation: Research the reputation of the GAP protection provider, reading reviews and testimonials to gauge customer satisfaction.
- Cost: Compare the cost of GAP protection among different providers to ensure you’re getting the best value for your coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About RV GAP Protection
What is RV GAP protection?
GAP protection (Guaranteed Asset Protection) for an RV is a type of coverage that can make up the difference (or “gap”) between the amount you owe on your RV loan and the RV’s actual cash value (ACV) in the event of a total loss.
Here’s an example: If you buy an RV and finance it, you might owe more on the RV than it’s actually worth due to depreciation. If your RV is then stolen or damaged beyond repair, your regular protection policy would typically pay you the RV’s actual cash value at the time of the loss, which could be less than the amount you still owe on your loan. This would leave you with a “gap” between what your protection pays out and what you still owe to your lender.
This is where GAP protection comes in. If you have GAP coverage, it would pay the difference between the protection payout and the remaining balance on your loan, effectively covering this “gap” and preventing you from being out-of-pocket for the remainder of the loan.
It’s worth noting that the specific terms of GAP protection can vary between providers, and not all total loss situations might be covered. So, as with any protection product, it’s important to read and understand the policy before purchasing.
