Guide
RVs are where national lemon law charts do the most damage, because 'covered' hides three different answers. Whole coach (house included): Illinois, Maine, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin. Chassis only (the living facilities are legally furniture): most of the rest, including California, Florida, New York and Washington. Excluded entirely: Alabama, Indiana, Nevada, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and DC.
Louisiana does something unique: a separate motor home act (R.S. 32:1270.31–.41) with its own numbers — 4 repairs or 90 days out, and a filing deadline 180 days after the express warranty ends. RV-specific thresholds also differ in New York, Washington (60 days; 90,000 offset divisor), Oregon (60 days; 90,000), Florida (60 days; 60,000 divisor), New Jersey (45 days) and Georgia (90,000 divisor).
Practical rule for RV owners: the defect's address matters. A slide-out or roof leak is a house defect; a transmission failure is a chassis defect. The same vehicle can be inside the law for one and outside for the other. The checker asks which side of the wall the defect lives on.
