Cannot find VIN on 1970 21 foot airstream

[Stone Ridge]

I am trying to find the VIN in order to get insurance for my airstream. I found the Identification number on the nameplate next to the door. The insurance broker said that it wasn't enough numbers. Does this serve as the VIN? Thanks.

Can you post a picture of the plate? On Airstreams between 1959 and 1980 that is the serial number, stamped on the plate beside the door. The vin should also be stamped in the A frame, as well. You cam go to Airstream.com, support, to decode the serial number. Maybe time to educate your insurance broker!!.

Your insurance broker is incorrect. I have a 71 GT and it is the S/N on the plate. As stated above it is also on the right side of the A frame. It should also be on your title.

In the early 80s, VINs became a standard 17 digits. Prior to that, they varied in length.

Isn't the VIN on the title of your AS? If so, show that to your broker.

I don't have a title. Here's a photo.

The lower number is the VIN.

The 17 digit VIN is not universal. Japanese market cars, for example, often have an 8 digit chassis number. I’ve had no trouble insuring privately imported cars in Canada.
