Greetings & Welcome!

There's a lot of variables involved here that you're not telling us... Like year, make, model, & value of the motorhome, and the value of the contents.

I've never paid over $2500 for a motorhome, and the contents would never be worth over that either, except maybe in sentimental value, which can't be replaced or compensated for anyway.  So a $5000 replacement fund is my insurance policy, along with a $5000 emergency fund.  Plus I have money in the bank if I need it.  So I just have liability insurance, because the insurance company wouldn't pay me diddly anyway.  This choice probably saves me two or three hundred dollars a month, and if I need it, the money is available instantly rather than waiting around for some insurance company to screw me over.

Cheers!
