Judgments can be executed in serveral ways, the preferred method is monetary in the form of wage garnishment or bank levy. Personal property of the judgment debtor can be seized and sold or real property can be encumbered by a lien.

States have laws which differ in the type and amount of property that can be exempted from judgment enforcement. Generally small claims judgmenta are monetary recovery only, such as wage garnishment.

In a lawsuit what does the term judgment proof mean?

The legal term is "execution proof" In essence it means the debtor has no property that is considered nonexempt under state laws.

Can your wages be garnish if your RV is repossess?

Only if you are sued for the debt. First the RV is repossessed. Then you will get collection notices in the mail. If you are going to be sued, you will get notice of that too. If you are sued, the judge can award the creditor a judgment that allows them to garnish your wages.
