Recreational Vehicles (RVs) Under NJ Lemon Law

Recreational vehicles are excluded from coverage under NJ’s Lemon Law. Motor homes are not included in the Lemon Law’s “motor vehicle” definition.

For RV buyers, CFA and Magnuson-Moss provide civil-court remedies — and CFA’s mandatory § 56:8-19 trebling is particularly powerful for RV cases given the high values at stake.

Coverage limitations

• Motor home chassis — not covered.
• Motor home coach — not covered.
• Towable RVs — not covered.

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. Get a free case review from a NJ lemon-law attorney with RV experience.

For NJ RV cases, CFA’s mandatory § 56:8-19 trebling and mandatory fees provide strong leverage even though the Lemon Law itself doesn’t reach RVs.
