1994 Beaver Patriot VIN

We're purchasing a 1994 Beaver Patriot but I wasn't able it locate the VIN plate inside. On other coaches, I've typically found an aluminum plate with make, VIN, tire size, weight ratings, etc on the wall to the left of the drivers seat. All I found on this Beaver this far is a plastic sticker on the outside next to the door that appears to have the VIN on it but it's so faded that it's not fully legible. Can someone point me to where to look for a VIN inside?
  • What I have found so far is a paper Recreation Vehicle Data Card on the inside of the door of the bathroom closet that has manufacturer, VIN, build date, and component serial numbers. Turns out that ours is a '93. Somewhat surprised that a piece of paper glued to the inside of a door was still there after 27 years.

    Thanks for suggestions on where to look.
  • Since you have a Roadmaster Chassis-----Check on the rear framing around the Engine, even if you have a rear Radiator. Monaco usually installed a Metal VIN plate back there. Doug

    I would want to make sure the title VIN and the vehicle VIN matched before I bought the MH.
    I'm sure they will match but, I would want to verify the information.
  • The RVIA sticker has the COACH NUMBER embossed on it. Cross reference that for the VIN.
  • There is a VIN on the title but I like to verify that to the vehicle. Typos have been known to occur. I didn't see one in the lower left corner of the windshield. I'll be able to do a search once I take possession next weekend but thought someone who had one might point me in the direction of where to look.
  • Is it not on the paper work. some locations to look.

  • We have a VIN plate on the drivers side of the dash very close to the base of the windshield. Have you looked there?
