XPLAINED
The 17-digit chassis VIN does not reflect the
model year of the completed motorhome. The
chassis, when received by Jayco from its
manufacturer, is an incomplete vehicle
consisting of frame rails, engine, drive train,
steering column, axles, wheels, tires and a
fuel delivery system. The incomplete chassis
cannot be driven legally on public roads or
sold at retail without further manufacturing.
The RV manufacturer who completes the
coach portion of the motorhome assigns the
model year. Jayco assigns the model year
using the 9-digit serial number that is unique
to your RV.
Fig. 3.1 VIN example
The 17-digit chassis VIN or last 8-digits of the
Jayco serial number are required whenever
making an appointment with or ordering
replacement parts from your RV dealer. The
Jayco serial number in the example shown
above is 81WC0060.

EIGHT LABELS
Vehicle weight labels are posted on Jayco
manufactured RVs so you can make an
informed decision before your purchase. Do
The factory-installed weight labels are
specific to the recreation vehicle for which
they are supplied and are not
interchangeable.
