How to find your RV’s VIN

While each RV maker has a unique design, they all house their 17-digit VIN in specific locations. 

  1. For Class A, B, and C motorhomes, check the driver’s side door jamb, for the VIN like you would on any car or truck. 
  2. If it’s not there, move to the driver’s side dashboard and look through the windshield for a metal plate or sticker bearing the VIN. 
  3. If the RV’s VIN still can’t be found, lift the hood and inspect the engine firewall or radiator support bracket to find the 17-digit VIN.
