The Coachmen Dealer Network is the exclusive distributor of all Coachmen and Sportscoach Parts. To find your nearest Coachmen Dealer, utilize the Dealer Locator or contact us directly at 1-800-453-6064.

Note: Your selected Coachmen dealer will most likely need the Coachmen/Sportscoach Serial Number of the unit in order to research your parts inquiry.

Your satisfaction as a Coachmen owner is of the utmost importance to us. If you should experience any difficulty obtaining Coachmen parts through your Coachmen dealer, please contact us by phone 1-800-453-6064.

Note: While Coachmen can supply many parts for units not in current production, items such as Decor (upholstery, curtains, floor coverings, and furniture) and certain cabinetry items are "run type" or "lot" items and typically are not available long after the model year's production cycle. It may be necessary to utilize a local upholstery or cabinet shop to obtain substitutes for these types of items.

• Since 2009, units manufactured or sold by Coachmen RV a Division of Forest River, Inc., all Coachmen serial numbers are 17 digits and the 1st 3 digits will be 5ZT.
• Between 1981 and the acquisition of Coachmen RV assets by Forest River, Inc., units manufactured and sold by Coachmen Industries have serial numbers with 17 digits and the 1st 3 digits will be either 1TC or 1TJ.

This is a very common question within the RV industry, not just Coachmen. The chassis of a motorized product is purchased from a chassis manufacturer (Ford, Chevy, Workhorse, Freightliner, Spartan, etc.) as an "Incomplete Vehicle" (with an established chassis serial number). When Coachmen completes the vehicle, we assign a model year and a Coachmen serial number to the coach portion. The RV industry and chassis manufacturer model years change at different times. For example, Coachmen may introduce the 2022 model year unit in June of 2021, but the chassis manufacturer doesn't introduce the 2022 chassis until September of 2021.

Because Coachmen "Completes the Vehicle" and assigns the model year, the value of any Coachmen unit is determined by the model year of the Coachmen, not necessarily the chassis. This may vary by state.

The Serial Number can typically be found on the following documents:

• Title
• Insurance Policy
• Bill of Sale
• Your Owner Registration Card (Supplied with new unit purchases only)

On the Recreational Vehicle, this varies by year but here are the most common locations:

Older Motorized: (1990 + Before)

• Stamped into a tag which is mounted to the firewall under the hood. (Rear Diesel-under rear wall hood)
• Stamped in the entrance door frame (not the door) just above the striker plate. (Found when outside, facing the doorway, with the door open)

Newer Motorized: (After 1990)

• Class As: Interior in drivers cockpit area, behind seat on sidewall or in cabinet above drivers seat.
• Exterior tag mounted on firewall framing under hood – front or rear (RD)
• Class Cs: Sticker in door jam (drivers) and tag under hood to framing (passenger side)

Travel Trailers

No - We do not sell factory direct. In order to assure the best possible experience, we encourage our customers to purchase their RV from their local dealership. This allows for the development of a meaningful relationship with a dealer in your area that will enhance your RV experience. From a pre-delivery inspection and prep completed by the dealer prior to pick up, thorough product walk through and demonstration at the time of delivery, to assistance with product questions, user tips, and helpful information regarding RV use in your state or county… your buying and ownership experience will be well served through one of our authorized dealers.

By purchasing through your local dealer you are also better assured timely service appointments and warranty repairs should any be required. Forest River, Inc., dealers are independently owned and operated businesses so priority service and scheduling is at their discretion.

You can find your local dealer by selecting a product and entering your zip/postal code on our Dealer Locator.

Coachmen RV Company is a "Wholesale" manufacturer of recreational vehicles. The value of a recreational vehicle is determined at a "retail" level and will vary with market conditions, condition of the RV and region. It is best to seek this information from your local Coachmen Dealer or financial institution. However, the following web address is commonly used as an RV industry guide: www.nadaguides.com
