Alaska Motor Home Owner Peter Harkovitch Ordered to Pay $230K in Penalties and Restitution

The State of Alaska obtained a judgment ordering Alaska Motor Home Inc. and owner Peter Harkovitch to pay more than $230,000 in penalties and restitution, according to an announcement issued on August 13, 2026, by Acting Attorney General Cori Mills.

The judgment concludes the second consumer protection lawsuit brought by the state against Harkovitch and his company in under five years. Anchorage Superior Court ordered Harkovitch to pay $183,000 in civil penalties alongside $50,409.86 in direct consumer restitution.

“Unscrupulous businesses have no place in the State of Alaska,” Mills said in a statement reported by radiokenai.com. “And nobody’s dream of an Alaskan vacation should be turned into a nightmare.”

Business Ban and Operating Restrictions

Under the terms of the court order, Harkovitch faces a strict prohibition from owning any business in Alaska. The ban remains in effect unless he first appears before the Anchorage Superior Court to demonstrate that any future business venture would operate lawfully.

Additionally, the court mandated that proceeds from any future operations must be directed toward satisfying his outstanding restitution obligations.

The legal action followed an abrupt announcement from Alaska Motor Home in June 2024 stating that the company was shutting down operations. The Department of Law stated that the company informed state officials it would neither fulfill outstanding reservations nor issue refunds to customers who had already paid for services.

Prior Violations and Forgery Allegations

State investigators reviewing the shutdown determined that Harkovitch repeatedly violated the terms of a consent judgment stemming from a 2019 lawsuit involving him and Alaska Motor Home.

During the subsequent investigation, the Department of Law discovered evidence that Harkovitch forged a customer’s signature. According to court records, the forgery occurred during a credit card chargeback dispute over a $7,500 unauthorized charge that Harkovitch had made to the customer’s credit card.

The court ordered restitution specifically for that customer, as well as for other consumers who lost money on canceled motor home reservations and failed to recover funds through traditional credit card chargeback processes.

Current Legal Status in Florida

Harkovitch is not currently residing in Alaska. According to the Alaska Department of Law, he is incarcerated in Florida after pleading guilty to multiple criminal charges in that state.

The Florida criminal case included convictions for aggravated battery and battery of a law enforcement officer.
