Where can I find the VIN # on the actual trailer? Also, what the decoding of the VIN #, meaning, where can I find the decoder that tells what each digit of the VIN stands for?

The VIN is located on a decal on the lower front of the Pod on the left side. It is a yellow tag with other information along with the VIN There are other tags located in the same place. It is also stamped into the trailer tongue on the upper left side just behind the propane bottle. You might try http://www.fedcertsuite.com/technical_support/New%20Trl%20Mfg%20Guide.html for the VIN decode info. Or check here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Number Or for the real lowdown: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_06/49cfr565_06.html |

I thought there was another place for the VIN but my feeble mind had pushed it to far back in it's recesses. I just plain forgot. I'll write something on what each character in the VIN means. Sort of generalized decoder. Remember the old decoder rings they used to put in breakfast cereal ? If you can't you are TOO Young. |

Every VIN (vehicle Identification Number) has 17 digits in it.
Digits 1,2,3 -- World Manufacturers Identifier ( WMI ) Digit 4- 8 -- Vehicle specific information 4-- Trailer Type 5 -- Body Style 6,7 -- Length 8 -- Axle configuration Digit 9 -- Check Sum Number I won't go into how to calculate this number. Digit 10 -- Model Year ( 2008-8, 2009-9, 2010-A, 2011-B ) Digit 11 -- Plant Code Digits 12-17 Sequential Production Number I don't have nor have I found the codes for each bit of information so you are on your own. Fill in your VIN number information after the( = ) click on link and wala there is some of the info on your trailer. EDIT 5/4/10 I don't guarantee the accuracy of what you find. http://www.autosalvageauction.com/vinpower.aspx?vin=4X4TRP715XXXXXXXX |

I went back and put in my VIN for the R Pod we have and it came up Rockport too. You have to remember this decoder may not be totally correct. It is the best that I found. Many other decoders tried to decode it as being some sort of motor vehicle. It does show Forest River so part of it is right, the year comes up right but the length isn't what is on the literature and I haven't measured the length to see which is right. |
