About RvCrunch
RV recall records, straight from federal data.
RvCrunch started with a frustration Eric ran into while shopping for a used travel trailer and trying to find out whether the brand he'd settled on had a real recall problem or just a run of bad luck. Every "RV brands to avoid" article he found was somebody's opinion or a raw complaint tally with no severity context — nothing that actually pointed back to NHTSA's own recall filings.
So he built something better. RvCrunch is a free, no-account-required way to get a straight answer sourced from NHTSA's own recall and complaint databases — which campaigns are open, how severe they are, and what owners have actually reported — not a listicle ranking brands by vibes.
Eric has bought and sold three RVs over the past decade and spent more hours than he'd like to admit cross-referencing NHTSA recall bulletins by hand before each purchase. He built RvCrunch so that lookup takes seconds instead of an evening with fifteen browser tabs open.

How it works
Every tool on RvCrunch is grounded in a documented, citable method — a published formula, an authoritative standard, or a well-established model. We don't approximate or invent numbers. If we can't cite a primary source for the logic, we don't publish the tool.
Every recall and complaint figure here is pulled directly from NHTSA's public recall and complaint databases (data.transportation.gov and nhtsa.gov) — nothing is estimated. We do not normalize for how many units a brand sold, because that production data isn't publicly available; instead we show model year and severity plainly and say so on every page it affects.
Our commitments
- Free, no sign-up required. Every tool on this site is free to use with no account, subscription, or paywall.
- We show our work. Every tool explains its methodology, cites its sources, and surfaces assumptions — so you can verify the logic, not just trust the output.
- Honest about limitations. Where precision is limited or assumptions are required, we say so. Tools compute; they don't replace professional judgment.
- Kept current. Tools that use figures that can change over time carry a “last reviewed” date and are treated as an ongoing maintenance responsibility, not a one-time build.
