Florida RV manufacturer bonds.
$100 flat.
Florida licenses recreational vehicle manufacturers, distributors, importers, and van converters through the DHSMV Division of Motorist Services, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier for this bond, identical for everyone. A quick soft credit check may apply; the bond is issued when you pay.

Three steps to licensed.
Your RV license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. A credit check that may run is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the DHSMV
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your RV manufacturer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida licenses RV manufacturers, distributors, importers, and van converters through the DHSMV under Chapter 320 of the Florida Statutes. The bond is a consumer-and-dealer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the manufacturer/distributor obligations in Chapters 319 and 320 — title, warranty, and the franchise-related duties that protect dealers and buyers.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Florida together with harmed parties. If a manufacturer or distributor violates the statute and someone is damaged, they can recover against the $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The filing is a continuation bond renewed annually with your license; we track the statutory 09/30 renewal so it never lapses on you.
