Thanks Bordercollie, ouch!
It appears (or was told) that the engine is a Chrysler 440, does that make any difference?

VINs were not standardized in format across manufacturers before 1981. It's probably just the age of the vehicle that's giving you trouble in looking it up online. RVs are vehicles and thus need VINs like any other vehicle. For motorhomes, the VIN is assigned by the chassis maker rather than the maker of the house part of the motorhome (assuming they are not the same company, which is nearly always the case).
Thanks Drew, very helpful! Your response is much appreciated.
