Finding the “Hidden VIN”

Category: RV Advice

Question: Dear Luise: Where can I find the Serial Number and VIN number on a 1967 Pathfinder camper? J.

Answer: Dear J.: The only way I know of to find that out is for someone else who has a vintage Pathfinder to respond with the information. Let’s hope someone does. Obviously you have already looked everywhere without success. Blessings, Luise

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
