Did you know that the “RVs Move America Week” has kicked off in Washington, D.C.? This weeklong event is organized by the RV Industry Association (RVIA).
Industry representatives have come together to shape a long-term strategy for guiding the continued growth of the $140 billion RV sector.
On Advocacy Day (Wednesday, June 4) RVIA participants head to Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers and advocate for key priorities affecting the RV industry.
Speak up!
Are you frustrated with the RV industry? Are you tired of hearing the horror stories about slipshod RV builds? Dangerous workmanship? Or the industry’s failure to stand behind their products?
Now is the time to speak up! Email your congresspeople and representatives. Tell them about the problems within the RV industry. Insist that consumer protection laws and strict building requirements are written, discussed, and passed for all of our recreational vehicles.
I did!
I just emailed my Missouri representative, Jason Smith. As the chair of the Ways and Means Committee, he is scheduled to meet with the RVIA people for a discussion later this week.
Rather than complain to one another, RVers need to do all they can to bring reform and improvement to the RV industry. Make your voice heard!
Right now—email your congressional rep and urge them to take a stand for safety and protection for consumers.
After all, RVers drive thousands of miles on the highways we share with non-RVers. Doesn’t everyone deserve to be safe as they go from here to there?

Contacted both of my senators.
Thanks, Jim. I hope many more of our readers will do the same!
Emailed my senator and congressman. Might have been better if we were told sooner.
It depends on what part of the country you’re from. I live in liberal Calif. and my congressmen and representatives never respond to my boating and rv issues. At least Diane Feinstein had the courtesy to respond- even though it wasn’t helpful. BTW, I have some concerns about the “mandatory” installation of ground monitoring devices that is suppose to take effect in Sept. ’26.
Thank you for the information and suggestion, Gail! I seem late to this party, but I will let the Tennessee congressional contingent know that RVs are too carelessly made and should be subjected to stiff tests to confirm safety before leaving a manufacturer/assembler. Have a great day and safe travels!
