I don't think I've ever received a birth certificate for any RV from the RVIA, but there's a sticker and serial number next to the front door.
I've never been asked to see "my papers" before though.
Your pick-me-up truck is also legally required to have that little plate in the drivers door jamb that says it was built to FMVSS spec. and I’d bet you’ve never been asked to show it either. However that’s likely because they know that a company the size of Fiat Chrysler will build to spec. The same is likely true of any ‘major’ brand RV, it’s a legal requirement that no company will turn a blind eye to.
The target of these kinds of laws is to give the required tools to tell some hippie in a converted cube van or school bus that he can’t stay there.
I bet if you showed up in a 2022 “Dedmiston Camperama” they’d ask to see the ‘birth certificate’.
