Does your state’s lemon laws cover motor homes (recreational vehicles)?

*Note: the terms motor homes and recreational vehicles are used interchangeably. 

More and more people are becoming the proud owners of recreational vehicles, also called motor homes. Even though the price of gasoline has gone up, it still can be more economical to vacation in a motor home than via planes, trains, autos and hotels. If you have children, camping in a recreational vehicle can prove to be a cost efficient and fun way to see the country. If you are lucky enough to be retired, then you might choose to drive a motor home around to visit the places you’ve always dreamed about seeing.

Unfortunately, many states do not have lemon laws that apply to motor homes. I have researched the lemon laws in each state to find out if they cover recreational vehicles. Browse this list to check if your state covers motor homes against being lemons. If you want more detailed information about lemon laws in your state, then click here.
