Best Lemon Law Attorney for RVs and Motorhomes? How to Choose

RV and motorhome lemon law cases are different from car cases. A motorhome usually has two warranties from two companies: one for the chassis and engine, and one from the RV maker for the living area. Choosing an attorney who knows how to handle both is the key.

RVs and Motorhomes: Complaints from California Drivers

Since January 2021, California drivers filed 213 safety complaints with NHTSA about 2019 or newer RVs and motorhomes.

Most named models: Grand Design Momentum (15), Newmar Bay Star (9), Winnebago Ekko (9), Grand Design Reflection (8), Winnebago View (7), Entegra Vision (6), Forest River Cherokee (6), Forest River R-Pod (5).

Source: NHTSA consumer complaint data, California complaints received January 2021 through early October 2026, model year 2019 and newer, counted once per complaint. Models with more vehicles on the road tend to get more complaints.

Two warranties, two manufacturers

The chassis, engine and drivetrain of a motorhome are usually built and warrantied by a chassis maker (such as Ford, Freightliner or Mercedes-Benz), while the coach and living area are warrantied by the RV builder. California lemon law treats the part of a motorhome used to drive it as a motor vehicle. Problems with the living area are handled under the Song-Beverly Act's general warranty rules and federal warranty law. A good attorney sorts out which company is responsible for each defect.

Common RV problems

• Water leaks, delamination, slide-out failures and structural problems.
• Electrical, generator, inverter and battery system failures.
• Leveling jacks, suspension and chassis problems.
• Engine, transmission and brake defects on the chassis.
• Long repair wait times, with the RV out of service for weeks or months.

Travel trailers and fifth wheels

Towable RVs like travel trailers and fifth wheels are not motor vehicles, but they are consumer goods covered by Song-Beverly warranty rules and federal warranty law. They can still have strong claims when the maker cannot fix them.

Days out of service matter

RVs often sit at the dealer for a long time waiting on parts or repairs. Keep a log of every day it is out of service. Under California law, more than 30 days out of service for warranty repairs can support a claim.

What to Look For in a RV Lemon Law Attorney

1. Has handled motorhome and RV cases and knows how chassis and coach warranties split.
2. Can bring claims against more than one manufacturer when needed.
3. Tracks days out of service and repair wait times as part of the case.
4. Costs you nothing. The manufacturer pays your fees when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). No retainer, no hourly bills.
5. Will go to trial if needed and tells you which attorney will handle your case.
6. Has real reviews you can read on Google.

They are not motor vehicles, but they are consumer goods covered by Song-Beverly warranty rules and federal warranty law, so they can still have claims.
