    I'm hoping the previous owners of my 2015 Southwind 36L are members and can give me some information and service records of my motorhome.  I purchased it at General RV in Dover on October 28th, 2017 and was told it was originally purchased there on October 28, 2015.  Previous owner traded it for a 44 foot Excursion.  It is Champagne Shimmer outside paint and had just a little over 20000 miles and is in great shape.

    Could you possibly get the previous owners name from the original ownership/registration card through the dealership, or by contacting Fleetwood in Decatur.

    We purchased our Southwind from a Canadian Dealership  and the previous owners name was still on the ownership/registration card.

    Dealership refused to give me any info.  Haven't tried Fleetwood yet.

    Hi Craig,

    As a suggestion, if the Dealership won't give you the previous owners contact info, you could ask the Dealership to contact the previous owner on your behalf and give them "your" contact info.

    The previous owner can then decide if they are interested in communicating with you.

    If the Dealership refuses to do that, it would make me think either they have something to hide, or they really don't care about any future business from you!

    I'm not sure if Fleetwood would, or are allowed to give out this info, but it never hurts to ask.

    One more thought, do you have a system in the US to get a vehicle's history through a Government department?

    In Canada, we do have a resource for this, and as expected, at a cost.

    Good luck.

    We happened to find out the name of the previous owner of our coach when we went through misc. papers we found in a cabinet. There was a receipt for something that had their name and address on it. Just an accident it was left probably, but still it was there. We have never contacted them.

    Craig,

    You may also want to check out the iRV2 Forum online.

    A great RV Forum that reaches a huge audience. Ask your question and provide as many details as possible.

    Someone may just be able to assist.

    When we bought our 2014 Bounder, the previous owners information was on the title. I took a picture of it with my phone. Maybe you still have a copy of it in your files. Good Luck
