What it is and who needs it.
What the RV dealer bond actually covers
Wisconsin licenses recreational vehicle dealers, manufacturers, and distributors under Wis. Stat. § 218.11, administered by the Department of Transportation. A dealer (or applicant) must provide and maintain a bond — or irrevocable letter of credit — of not less than $50,000.
The bond is executed in the name of the Department of Transportation for the benefit of any person who sustains a loss because of a dealer act that would be grounds to suspend or revoke the license. It's a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: clean title, honest dealing, and compliance with RV dealer law.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and WisDOT together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety; it is not insurance for you. The bond is filed on the WisDOT dealer bond form (MV2511).
