RVs (that is, mobile homes) may be exempted in a bankruptcy case up to the legal limits. You should consult experienced bankruptcy counsel to determine whether you qualify to file and the pros and cons of doing so.

In Ohio, the homestead exemption applies to any property where the debtor(s) live. I have filed for debtors who lived in a camper (with no cooking or plumbing - they parked it in the backyard of relatives house) and debtors who lived on a boat (it was $250,000 boat with all the amenities). So the Ohio homestead exemption applies to a RV.

Yes, if you are actually living in the RV when you file the case you can claim it as your homestead.

In Nevada, an RV that you reside in is eligible for the homestead exemption. You need to record the Declaration of Homestead in the County where you live.

Yes, in Oregon you can claim the homestead exemption on an RV if it is in fact where you live.
