Hi we have decided we want to leave our trailer at a particular campground in the Myrtle Beach area. Our insurance up here in Canada only gives around 6 months US coverage per year.
Does anyone know where we can get year round US coverage on our trailer being stored at the US campground even while we are not using it keeping in mind we are Canadian with our residence up here in Ontario?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I am going to add to my original post with more info. The trailer park we want to leave our trailer at would store it year round. When we want to go down and stay in the park they would tow it to a spot (or we may do that ourselves depending on the park as the one we really want to stay at doesn't tow 5th wheels). When we leave to come home it goes back into storage.
Our insurance here in Ontario tells us that we are only covered for 6 months outside of Canada and only if we are physically with the trailer. Can't find any insurance company to insure it for the whole year in the US.
We phoned down to a Camping World in South Carolina and they said there was a kind of 'work around'. Register your trailer in SC and insure down there. A U.S. address is required, he said to rent a U.S. post office box and have the mail forwarded to us here in Canada. I am just not sure we can get a U.S. company to insure us for what we need.
Any ideas?

Quite frankly, I'm surprised that there is such difficulty when I'm sure there are plenty that do this exact same thing. Mind you, i have never looked into it myself.
@dieharder: We are CAA members and have called them to inquire already. They said they don't insure more than 3 months in the U.S.
@moparmom: We gave Foremost a call and yes they do offer the type of insurance we require with only one caveat. We need to register our trailer in SC (U.S. somewhere). So when we go down in August we will be trying to get that done. Thanks for the tip!
