Dear J. As I understand it the Rockwood line is manufactured by Forest River,Inc. and that company is still in business. Their URL is: http://www.forestriverinc.com/rockwood/
Hope they can help you. Blessings, Luise

I have a 1986 31 ft. Pace Arrow & recently tried to reg. in Calif. DMV cannot find the vin#. We looked everywhere, doors, under hood, all cabinet doors & on the engine. Seems in other states the serial number is sufficent. Other than the manufacturer, how can we find the vin number?

Thanks in advance, Michael

We bought an older camper that came w/ no paper work. DMV said to register it we need to start by finding the VIN #. We’ve looked but can’t find one. We don’t know what make it is or how old it is. Any idea where they hide the numbers? Thanks, K.

They are all over the place as I understand it. No industry standard, originally. Some have found
VINs on the tongue and some never find one anywhere. Good luck! Luise

We just bought a 1951 Shasta with no paperwork except the bill of sale from most recent owner. DMV said I need to find the VIN in order to register it. I have looked high and low and can’t seem to locate it. If you have any info please let me know. Thanks. B.

I have been told that people have found the VIN number on the tongue of vintage travel trailers under many coats of paint and/or rust. Some have used a sandblaster or sandpaper to help them find the imprint. Hope this helps. Blessings, Luise

I have a 1955 Pathfinder camper that was manufactured in Spencer Wisconin. I found the vin number on the right side of the hitch on the top of the frame. All that I found was the numbers “55″ a small space and the numbers “1285″. The numbers are about 1 inch high. The “55″ is the year 19″55″ and the “1285″ is the actual number that this camper was in line as it was manufactured. Meaning that the camper that was manufactured before this one was stamped “55″ “1284″. There will not be a long vin number like on cars today and I have been told that these are the only numbers that were stamped on the campers. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Sand the tongue carefully to see if the Vehicle Identification Number is imprinted there.

i cannot find the VIN on my camper, and have lost the title. I want to renew the registration, what can I do? C.

Many people have found their VIN by carefully sanding the tongue. The number is often imprinted there. If you are successful…take that number to your department of licensing for a lost title.
