Recreational Vehicles (RVs) Under Georgia Lemon Law

Recreational vehicles have limited coverage under Georgia’s Lemon Law — the chassis side of motor homes is covered, but the coach side is not. Towable RVs are generally excluded.

Coverage limitations

• Motor home chassis — covered (when under 10,000 lbs GVWR).
• Motor home coach — not covered by the Lemon Law.
• Towable RVs — not covered by the Lemon Law.

For RV buyers, FBPA and Magnuson-Moss provide alternative civil-court remedies for the coach side.

The chassis-vs-coach distinction

Class A on Freightliner, Ford, Spartan, Roadmaster. Class C on Ford E-450 or Mercedes Sprinter.

Chassis manufacturer’s warranty may cover defects under the Georgia Lemon Law if the chassis is under 10,000 lbs GVWR (rare for Class A). FBPA covers coach manufacturer’s representations.

Common RV defect categories

• Slide-out failures.
• Leveling system failures.
• Plumbing and water system issues.
• Electrical systems.
• HVAC.
• Roof leaks.
• Chassis-side issues.

What you should do

1. Pull every repair order from chassis and coach.
2. Document time-out-of-service.
3. Note specific failures.
4. Send 30-day FBPA pre-suit notice for coach claims.
5. Get a free case review from a Georgia lemon-law attorney with RV experience.
