Vehicle Prowling in Washington is divided up into two degrees (levels) of seriousness. Vehicle Prowling in the First Degree is a Class C Felony (punishable by more than a year, sentence determined base on prior history), which Vehicle Prowling in the Second Degree is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to 365 days in jail and $5000 in fines.

What separates the two degrees is the type of vehicle that was allegedly prowled. If the vehicle was a motor home (or boat with permanent living quarters) the appropriate charge is a felony. For any other vehicle, the correct charged is alleged Vehicle Prowling in the Second Degree.
