Homeowners policies normally cover "personal property" away from the home and provides liability for members of the household wherever they are. Personal property is usually things like clothing, cameras, sporting equipment, etc. Maybe that would stretch to replacing a pop-up that burned in a campground fire, but I wouldn't count on a homeowners policy to cover the loss of a $30,000-$50,000 trailer.
I also wouldn't count on the auto policy to replace that same trailer if it were totaled in an accident. The auto liability policy covers any damage done BY the trailer while being towed, but it would be unusual for it to cover any damage done TO the trailer under the auto's collision & comp.
I have no knowledge of how various policies are written in Illinois, but your co-worker should ask some very specific questions of his agent. And get answers in writing.
