Your RV Becomes Your Home

When your RV becomes your primary residence, your insurance needs change. A standard recreational RV policy is designed for occasional use, not full-time living. Once you’re living in your rig year-round, you need a policy that treats it more like a home and less like a vacation vehicle. This includes coverage for personal belongings, liability in case someone gets injured at your campsite, and loss of use if your RV becomes uninhabitable.

You May Need Extra Liability Protection

Full-time RVing means you’re more likely to interact with people at campgrounds, RV parks, and on the road. This increased exposure brings more risk, which may require additional liability coverage. A comprehensive full-timer policy can protect you in situations that a part-time policy wouldn’t cover.

Pennsylvania startups may be aware that their new business requires insurance, but if they plan to go public, they’ll need bond insurance before offering investments. Bond insurance protects investors in a corporation or government entity that issues bonds, a common fundraising mechanism. At Bartal Insurance, we offer bond insurance to business owners in Scranton, PA, and can help incorporate it into your commercial insurance package.

Corporations use bonds to fund business expansion or research and development projects.

Recently, startups have turned to crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe for quick capital. While these methods can fund small projects, a startup looking to expand might incorporate and offer a bond to avoid going public. However, offering bonds requires as much paperwork and compliance as an initial public offering (IPO), including the need for bond insurance, which Bartal Insurance can help you secure.

The Pennsylvania legal code outlines the requirements for any business or government agency wishing to offer a bond. Title 67, Section 449.3., covers the state’s advertising, bidding, and bond requirements rules. It also explains the three main types of bond insurance:
