About Forest River VINs
Forest River (a Berkshire Hathaway company) builds a wide range of RVs; travel trailers and fifth wheels carry a Forest River VIN, while its motorhomes decode to the chassis maker.
This lookup uses NHTSA data for U.S.-market road vehicles from 1981 onward. Coverage and available fields vary by Forest River model and market. Short frame or engine numbers require manufacturer records.
For motorhomes, confirm both the chassis and coach labels. This result does not establish the floorplan, installed appliances or original option packages.

Forest River VIN — FAQ
How do I decode a Forest River VIN for free?
Enter your Forest River’s 17-character VIN in the tool above. It returns the model, year, body style, engine and assembly plant decoded from NHTSA’s public database — no signup or payment.
Where is the VIN on a Forest River?
Check the chassis VIN plate and the coach or trailer manufacturer label on your Forest River. A motorhome may decode as its chassis manufacturer; a coach serial number or floorplan is separate.
Can I check Forest River recalls by VIN?
You can check Forest River recall campaigns by model and year with the recall lookup on this page. To confirm whether a specific Forest River still has an unrepaired recall, use the VIN-level tool at NHTSA.gov.
Does the decoder show Forest River trim and options?
Sometimes. NHTSA data includes trim for some Forest River models but not all, and it does not include full option packages — those require the window sticker or a paid build sheet.
