I assume you mean you rent a house as a tenant, not as the landlord, but also have a RV.

Yes, if it fits the definition of a home:

According to the IRS:

"A home includes a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, house trailer, boat, or similar property that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities."

You may deduct the interest under

"Deductions & Credits"

"Your Home"

"Mortgage Interest"

Every Taxpayer chooses to Itemize Deductions OR take the Standard Deduction.

If you have enough Itemized Deductions, such as state tax, medical expenses and mortgage interest, they will be added on Schedule A and entered on your 104 line 12a.

If you take the Standard Deduction, these amount do not get reported on the Federal return.
