What is mobile home insurance?
In Arizona, mobile home insurance is designed to protect you from financial loss if your mobile home is damaged by a covered peril, such as fires, burst pipes, or windstorms. It also comes with liability protection to help cover costs if someone claims you’re responsible for their property damage or bodily injury.
Policies typically cover:
-
Your dwelling.
-
Your personal belongings.
-
Other structures added to your home after it left the manufacturer.
-
Additional living expenses if you have to temporarily move after a catastrophe.
-
Your personal liability.
-
Medical payments for people injured on your property.
Policies can be written as either replacement cost or actual cash value (ACV) coverage. Replacement cost coverage means we pay for repairs or replacements using materials of a similar quality. It may be a bit more expensive than ACV coverage, but it can help you recover from a catastrophe quicker.

-
The Coverage A of your mobile home.
-
The year it was built.
-
The value of your personal property.

The deductible and coverage limits you select.

Is mobile home insurance different from homeowners insurance?
Mobile home insurance, sometimes called an HO7 or MH3 policy, and traditional homeowners insurance are pretty similar. Both cover your structure and personal belongings as well as your personal liability. Moreover, both policies are open perils coverage, which means they cover any loss unless it’s caused by something specifically listed as excluded from the policy.
What is different between the policies is the underwriting. Insurers have found that manufactured homes represent a different risk than traditionally built homes. This is why there are different policies for each type.
Please note: Modular homes are another type of home altogether. They’re built to the same standards as traditional homes, so they’re insured on a similar policy.
