Sample Policy of Insurance for Motorhomes
COVERAGE SECTION
These Terms and Conditions of the Master Policy issued to the Good Sam Club and your Evidence of Insurance (hereinafter referred to as
Coverage) are between the Good Sam Club (hereinafter referred to as
WE, US and
OUR), our insurance company, and the Purchaser (hereinafter referred to as
You and
Your), and provides
Coverage recorded for the time and mileage, whichever occurs first, as stated in the Evidence of Insurance. This Coverage constitutes
Your entire agreement and supersedes any and all previous agreements whether written or oral and any other representations made by anyone in any form.
The limits, terms, and conditions of Your Coverage are important. You should read and understand the terms and conditions below.
MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN COVERAGE
We will provide payment to
Your Repair Facility or reimburse
You for reasonable costs of labor and materials (approved and receipted) to repair or replace any of the covered parts under this Coverage if required due to
Mechanical Breakdown. A "
Mechanical Breakdown or Breakdown" is defined as failure of a defective covered part or faulty workmanship of a covered part as originally supplied by the manufacturer and under normal service. A covered part has failed when it can no longer perform the function for which it was designed solely because of its condition and not because of the action or inaction of any non-covered parts.
Replacement will be made with like kind and quality to include rebuilt or remanufactured parts. Parts may be upgraded to “new” at owner's expense. Coverage includes manufacturer recommended fluids and filters
(excludes fuels) when required as part of a covered repair. Coverage includes manufacturers' deductible when paid by the contract holder for a covered repair.
You must maintain Your Vehicle in accordance with the service requirements set forth in these Terms and Conditions to keep this Coverage in force. Evidence of proper service will be required in the event of a claim. (See “Your Responsibilities”)
In the event of a
Breakdown, You must pay the deductible as stated in the Evidence of Insurance for each visit and pay any non-covered expenses. Freight and shop supplies are covered in conjunction with a covered repair to a combined maximum of $50.00.
TRIP INTERUPTION
You will be reimbursed for up to ten (10) days of (receipted) expenses for meals, lodging and rental car expense incurred by
You and
Your family while staying at a hotel/motel or campground in case a
Mechanical Breakdown causes a delay en route. To qualify for this benefit, you must not be able to utilize
Your motorhome due to a
Mechanical Breakdown covered under this
Coverage and
You must be more than one hundred (100) miles from home, unless your motorhome is your sole domicile.
The covered period will begin on the date of the
Mechanical Breakdown and one (1) day of travel benefits will be paid for each eight (8) hours, or portion thereof, of authorized labor time required to complete the repairs. Up to two (2) days will be included in the event an inspection by an outside source is required to determine if repairs are covered under this policy. No travel benefits will be paid for delays beyond the control of the repair facility, such as waiting for parts shipments. Expenses will be reimbursed up to $100.00 per day for meals and lodging and up to $60 per day for rental car costs.
