Looking to grow your customer base? The RV segment is larger than you might think

If you have RV customers, you know RVing is a way of life.

Whether they take it on a trip every summer or park it in their favourite trailer park for a season, RVers are serious about hitting the road.

While you might think RVers make up a small portion of the population, a 2018 study from The Portage Group says otherwise: approximately 2.1 million (that’s 15 per cent!) of Canadian households own an RV.

In 2017, the same study noted that those RV owners took an estimated 8.2 million RV trips in Canada and when you add in all the trips taken by renters, that number balloons to 8.8 million RV trips.

Are you making the most of this growing customer segment? Aviva offers coverage designed for the RVing lifestyle.

As the country's largest insurer of recreational vehicles, we’ve been protecting Canadian fun for more than 60 years. Our trailer insurance policy includes coverage not found in regular home or auto insurance policies, including roadside assistance, guaranteed replacement cost coverage and optional RV-sharing insurance.
