Watch: "How To Submit Suggested Changes To RV-C Protocol" Webinar

Sep 27, 2022

On Tuesday, September 20, 2022, the RV Industry Association hosted the “How to Submit Suggested Changes to RV-C Protocol” webinar. The webinar was co-presented by current RV-C Administrator Von Lindsey, President of Lindsey Research Services, and Martin Perlot, President of Silverleaf Electronics, Inc., and the former RV-C Administrator. 

Some quick facts on RV-C:

  • RV-C stands for Recreation Vehicle-CAN (Communication Area Network).
  • The RV-C protocol was developed by the RV Industry Association RV-C Subcommittee almost 20 years ago.
  • RV-C is an open protocol language for appliances and devices within the RV which allows these products to communicate and cooperate.
  • The RV-C protocol is open and available for all product developers to use and is constantly updated by those product developers.

In recent years, the number of suppliers developing component parts that are RV-C compatible has grown exponentially and shows no sign of slowing down. Based on the continued and growing interest in RV-C in the RV industry, the RV-C Subcommittee determined that educating the industry on how to submit suggested changes would be beneficial.  

The target audiences for this webinar included:

  • Product developers or engineers who are not familiar with submissions to the RV-C protocol
  • Managers who are responsible for RV-C compatible products (but may not be product developers or engineers)
  • Engineers who work for an RV manufacturer that uses RV-C
  • Anyone responsible for RV-C related items (e.g., procurement or sale of RV-C compatible products)
  • Anyone interested in learning more about RV-C and how it is administered
