RV History Report

RV HISTORY.
DON'T SKIP IT.

Motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and camper vans all have VINs and history records. Accident damage, title brands, and mileage fraud apply to RVs just as much as cars.

What's Included

Every RV Report
Covers These Six Areas.

RV repairs routinely run $10,000–$50,000 after major accidents or flood events. A $14.99 history report is the cheapest insurance you can buy before writing that check.

Accident History

Collision and damage events from insurance carriers and DMV records across all 50 states. RV accidents at highway speeds typically cause frame damage — which is extremely expensive to repair correctly.

Title Records

Salvage, rebuilt, flood, junk, and lemon brands pulled from every state the RV was ever registered in. A flood-branded Class A motorhome is nearly impossible to insure at full value and will depreciate rapidly.

Odometer Check

Chronological mileage records for the chassis VIN. RV odometer fraud is less common than in passenger cars but does occur, particularly on high-value Class A diesels where low miles command a premium price.

Ownership History

Number of owners, state of registration, and personal vs. rental/fleet use. RVs used by rental fleets experience significantly higher wear due to unfamiliar operators and frequent turnover between trips.

Recall Status

Open NHTSA safety recalls tied to this specific VIN — chassis, engine, propane systems, braking, and slide-out mechanisms. Some RV recalls are safety-critical and can result in fire or loss of control if unaddressed.

Market Value

History-adjusted fair market estimate for the vehicle. RV values fluctuate significantly based on accident history, flood exposure, and number of owners — our estimate accounts for all of these factors.

FAQ

RV History Questions

Do RVs have VINs? +
Yes. All motorhomes — Class A, B, and C — manufactured after 1981 have a standard 17-character VIN assigned to the chassis. Most travel trailers and fifth wheels also have VINs, though the format may differ slightly depending on the manufacturer. If your trailer has a VIN, we can run a history check on it. Enter it above to see what records are available.
Where is the VIN on an RV or motorhome? +
On Class A, B, and C motorhomes, the VIN is typically found on the driver's side dashboard near the windshield (visible from outside), the driver's door jamb sticker, and the chassis frame. On travel trailers and fifth wheels, look for a data plate or sticker on the front exterior wall, inside a cabinet, or stamped on the A-frame tongue near the hitch. The title and registration will also list it.
Are RV accidents more serious than car accidents? +
In terms of repair cost, yes — significantly. RVs have complex integrated systems (plumbing, electrical, slide-outs, HVAC, propane) that can all be damaged in a collision, and fiberglass body panels, roof delamination, and structural frame damage are common outcomes. A "minor" accident that would cost $2,000 to repair on a passenger car can easily run $15,000–$40,000 on a Class A diesel pusher.
Which RV brands have the most recall issues? +
NHTSA recall issues vary by model year and component type rather than brand alone. Common recall categories across RV brands include propane regulator failures, slide-out mechanism defects, water heater issues, and chassis-level recalls on the underlying Ford, Mercedes Sprinter, or Ram ProMaster chassis. Running a VIN-specific recall check tells you exactly which — if any — open recalls apply to the individual unit you're considering.
Is flood damage common in RVs? +
More common than most buyers expect. RVs are frequently stored at campgrounds, storage lots, and marinas in flood-prone areas. A flooded RV suffers damage to the chassis electronics, living area cabinetry, flooring, slide-out motors, and HVAC systems — much of which is hidden from casual inspection. Our report cross-references FEMA flood zone data and NICB claims records to flag any history of flood exposure or water damage declarations.
