The protection products
Physical products professionally applied to the unit, such as exterior surface, interior and wheel protection. These are products.
FORGED CERTIFIED™ RV
RV protection, documented.
FORGED CERTIFIED connects qualifying RV protection with unit identification, installation documentation, digital registration and a record that can remain verifiable throughout the life of the RV.
The rv process
How rv certification works
RV certification follows five steps, applied to an individual unit through a participating RV dealer or installation program.
Step 1: Protect
Qualifying protection is professionally applied through a participating RV dealer or installation program.
Step 2: Document
The RV, installed protection, installation date and participating provider are documented.
Step 3: Register
The RV is connected to its digital record through FORGED CONNECT™.
Step 4: Certify
An individual FORGED CERTIFIED™ credential may be issued when all applicable program requirements are satisfied.
Step 5: Verify
The owner, participating dealer or future buyer can access and verify the applicable certification record.
Unit types
Units the program is built around
An RV record is created for an individual unit. Availability depends on the participating RV dealer or installation program and the applicable program configuration.
- Motorhomes
- Travel trailers
- Fifth wheels
- Toy haulers
Units are identified using VIN or unit identification information, when applicable, so each RV carries its own record independent of any tow vehicle.
Three separate things
More than a coating
A coating is not a certification. Understanding the difference protects the owner, the dealer and the value of the record itself.
The program benefits
Any contractual coverage, terms, limits or ownership benefits are defined by the participating provider and the written program documents supplied at the point of sale.
FORGED CERTIFIED™
The documentation and verification layer: what was applied to this RV, by whom and when, registered through FORGED CONNECT™ and verifiable by the owner, dealer or a future buyer.
The protection product is not the certification. Purchasing or applying a product does not automatically make an RV FORGED CERTIFIED. Certification is issued only when the applicable protection, documentation, registration and program requirements are satisfied.

At the dealership
What certification changes for a dealer
For a participating RV dealer or installation program, certification turns a protection sale into a documented record that can be shown, verified and carried forward on trade-in or consignment.
Evidence instead of assurance
Rather than describing what was applied, the provider can show a registered record connected to the unit identification information.
A cleaner delivery conversation
The protection applied, the program documents and the certification record are presented together at delivery.
Stronger used and consignment inventory
A previously certified unit arrives with a documented protection history that supports how it is presented.
Accountable installation
The record names the participating provider and the installation date, so documentation quality stays consistent.
For the RV owner
What the owner experiences
An owner should never have to take protection on trust. Certification gives them a record they can open, read and hand to someone else.
A record they can open
A digital record connected to the unit identification information, showing the protection documented and the participating provider that applied it.
Verification on demand
The owner, a participating dealer or a future buyer can verify the applicable certification record.
Something to hand over
At resale or trade-in, the documented record can be presented as part of the unit's history rather than reconstructed from receipts.
FC-VPS 01 is the FORGED automotive vehicle protection standard and does not automatically govern RV. RV program availability, protection systems, contractual coverage and any ownership benefits are determined by the participating dealer and program configuration, and are governed by the written program terms provided at the point of sale.
For dealers
