Advocacy

We advocate for the RV industry at the federal and state level to create a favorable business environment, protect against onerous legislation and regulations, and make it easier for consumers to buy, drive and own an RV. Our state and federal government affairs teams work with officials across the country. We forge strong alliances with industry partners across the outdoor industry to amplify our voices and present a united message to lawmakers.

Industry Standards And Inspection Program

Our inspectors travel across the country to all member facilities for unannounced inspections every 6-8 weeks to audit the manufacturer’s compliance with the industry’s universally adopted standards, including NFPA 1192 standards, ANSI standards and others. The inspectors also educate manufacturers on certain existing, future and updated regulations that affect that the RV industry to ensure that members have the most up-to-date information. The association regularly hosts technical training through webinars, seminars and at events, works with NHTSA and provides opportunities for members to interact and receive updated information from the administration, and publishes a standards handbook every three years with compliance information.
