I posted a similar question in the workamping forum, before realizing that "workamping" is more geared to getting a free site in exchange for volunteer work vs. actually having a small business and using your RV for it.
I am a silversmith, and my intention is to have a small studio in my RV where I make jewelry, as well as driving it on sales trips throughout the country. I plan to claim the purchase price as a tax deduction, as well as mileage, further studio conversion, etc.
I am having a really hard time finding insurance coverage for this intended purpose. Do most folks who do something similar just insure as a personal vehicle? My tax advisor says it's fine to do this for IRS purposes. However, I am concerned that if there is ever an insurance claim related to the on-board studio that I will be denied coverage/liability.
Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated - originally was hoping to add the RV to my exisiting auto policy, but have already been denied by Progressive and Farmers due to the onboard studio.
