So if I go back north for 6 months, I am not covered for theft and vandalism down here for 5 of those months.

Not that this is a high crime area, but are any other snowbirds concerned or have found a workaround?
that is true, My mom’s place was vandalized and property stolen, no insurance coverage, after the claim the insurance cancelled her policy. This was back in 2009
