I've lived in mobile homes since 1965. The Foremost co. is the one I've had in the 4 states I've lived in: Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, & Wisconsin. Right now we have American Family but I know it will not cover things like leakage from water heaters. We get a discount because of the autos we insure so we stay with them tho.

Foremost insures our 2 double wide homes and other structures for $3000plus for a $250 deductible. So far they have put on 2 new roofs and replaced one electric gate and a lot fencing due to wind damage. We've had no problem with them at all. We've had one rate increase in 11 years and it was a state wide increase not related to claims but it doubled our premiums.

We got to choose how much insurance we wanted. We chose replacement value insurance on our structures and a high content value dollar wise. We could pay less and have less coverage. Be sure when you compare coverage between different companies that you are comparing the same amount of coverage.

Dianne, we are in a mobile home in Alabama and I can tell you it's hard to get insurance on them when you are in a high risk area for Hurricanes ans tornados. We just switched our insurance because the premium went up $500.00 a year, we've never had a claim. Your best bet is to go to Geico.com and get a quote there, then call the number listed on the site to get a more accurate quote. An independent agent recommended I do this.

Don't even get me started on insurance companies, any kind. I don't know how a person who works for them or who owns a company, can sleep at night. And now here in FL, to change, they want to charge $300 to $500 for inspections.
And if the home doesn't pass, well you just tossed that money down the toilet. You also have to have wind mitigation inspections to get wind discounts, another charge with same results. I'm not sure you can even get mobile home insurance. My aunt's is 30 years old, beautiful double wide, sorry Charlie, we are dumping you. Yep, just one of those subjects you just don't discuss with me. Our home is 43 years old so can only get wind through Citizens. We dropped the wind and next year may only take liability. Am not paying anyone $3500 a year, with wind deductibles of $5500 and homeowner's $2500. Nope, not doing it. We have NEVER had a claim in the 42 years we've lived here.
