Reading the RV Vin. #

Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I was on this forum as I sold my Dodge. Now I'm looking at buying another one and need some help reading the vin. # so I can tell what I'm looking at. The VIN. that I have is: F44CD6VO90898. Can anyone help please, Thanks , Jerry

I posted this on the main forum, forgot about this section.

Double check your VIN. Some coach manufacturers assigned their own VIN, rather than use the chassis vin assigned by Dodge. (This started somewhere around 1972-1975.)

Yours looks like a valid Dodge VIN but the online decoders I tried drew a blank. Of course, many VIN decoders only work with common cars and light trucks, ignoring less common vehicles such as motorhomes.

Unfortunately, family issues have caused a lot of my stuff to be misplaced, including the books I had that contained VIN information.

The best way to verify your VIN is to find the one stamped into the chassis by Dodge. It's located on the frame web near the front wheel. Most of the ones I've encountered are located above the front axle on the right (passenger) side of the frame. (I've heard of some being found on the left side of the frame but haven't run across it myself.)

Will keep trying, unless Leeann beats me to it.

Gotta get to my Dodge VIN decoder, so you might still beat me to it.
