Your VIN number should be on a plate on the door side (curb side) of the coach, to the front of the door.

I also have a stamped number on the road side of the tongue frame. While I don't remember the numbers, it has no similarity to the trailer VIN.

All 3 of my trailers have had the VIN stamped on the tongue frame...my 63 has the vin number written in grease marker under the kitchen and bath cabinet tops. If ya wanna dig, it was also marked on the inside of the exterior or the skin...

My Class A has a VIN typo on the plate that is in front of the driver's seat at the windshield. I had problems with this when I bought the used moho: my insurance comapny told me the VIN was not correct, then they accepted it. I only found out about the error when I found a second plate that chassis mfgr. Workhorse had put under the hood. Not sure if it is useful to change: it agrees with the registration now.

I do have the plate on the front door, and it has a Mis printed 9 instead of a 6...I had another post started on the Bambi but I am just bound and determined to prove that this is a factory error....The plate just does not look like it has been tampered with!! I "might" be wrong though....and if so I would like to find the right one! I will check out under the counter tops TODAY! Thanks!
