It's no secret that mobile homes can be more susceptible to fire and damage than some other buildings. This is mainly due to the materials that a mobile home is constructed from. Mobiles homes are usually set up on piers or blocks; this makes them more vulnerable to damage from windstorms, such as tornados or hurricanes. They can easily be toppled from the brutal force of the winds. The siding and roof can also be damaged by large hail or falling objects, as they are usually built from tin or aluminium. In general, they are not constructed as stable as other buildings.

This can lead to many insurance claims, which of course, costs the insurance company millions in expenses. Because of this fact, many insurance companies will not insure mobile homes. They consider them to be too high of a risk. This is true with many of the older mobile homes. Many of the newer mobile homes are being build with better materials and can often seem more like an actual house than a mobile home.

Mobile home insurance coverage is similar to coverages offered for homes. The policy covers the same perils; fire, smoke, and explosion, windstorm and hail, water escape and rupture, impact by aircraft and land vehicle, damage from falling objects, theft and vandalism, and riot. Mobile home owners are also covered with liability that protects them against being sued for damages and injuries caused by their negligence.

Other coverages included are such things as identity theft, and credit, debit, and check forgery. This is extremely crucial in today's society as more and more people have access to personal information on the Internet.

Mobile home insurance may include an endorsement called 'dent exclusion'. This is added onto the policy if the property is manufactured from materials such as aluminium and tin that can easily be dented. Insurance companies would pay out extravagant amounts in claims if they covered every little dent that is sustained on a mobile home. This is also to deter owners from submitted many smaller claims. It would be beneficial for both the owner and the insurance company if the insured handled these smaller claims themselves.

Calculating mobile home insurance is a little trickier than calculating insurance for a homeowner. The insurance company must take into consideration every material that is used in the building; the roof, exterior and interior walls, flooring, and the ceilings. They also take into account if there are any porches, decks, or window awnings. The cost of each of these materials and items are added up and used to determine the premium of the insurance. In many cases, a visual inspection of the mobile home is required.
