If you live in a mobile home, you'll need specific mobile home insurance rather than a traditional homeowners insurance policy. But what exactly is mobile home insurance, and how is it different?
Here is a quick guide to the important facts about mobile home insurance:
Mobile home insurance is required by mortgage companies for loan approval. So, if you're trying to get a mortgage, it's in your best interest to research your options for mobile home insurance companies and find a good fit. However, it may not be mandatory otherwise.
Mobile home insurance policies have the same components as traditional homeowners insurance: dwelling, other structures, personal property and liability coverage.

To find out what a covered peril is, check with your insurance company. Often, you can get an additional policy for one of the above events added onto your regular policy for a discounted rate.
