The RV/MH Hall of Fame said it is nearing its close for 2021 nominations, which ends on Oct. 31.

“Over the past few years the active pool of those nominated for induction into the RV/MH Hall of Fame (Hall) has diminished, primarily because if a nominee is not selected within five years that nominee is dropped from the list of eligible candidates,” said the organization, adding “That does not mean a candidate is less deserving.”

Darryl Searer, president of the Hall of Fame.

Darryl Searer, president of the Hall, has urged those who nominated a person more than five years ago to update and re-submit their nominee. “If you are considering submitting new nominee the best place to start is to download the guidelines and forms,,” he added.

According to the guidelines, anyone can nominate a person to the Hall of Fame that meets the eligibility requirements. The only people who may not be considered are those who currently serve on the Hall’s Selection Committee. To be eligible the nominee must be, or have been, an active participant in any segment of the RV, campground, or manufactured housing industries for a minimum of 25 years. Canadians can also be nominated.

If a completed nomination form and three properly prepared seconding letters are received by Oct. 31 of any year, the nominee will be in the pool of candidates considered for the following year’s class and for five years beyond that if not selected that year.

The Hall’s Selection Committee will announce its selections in January 2021 and those chosen will be inducted at the Hall’s annual induction dinner in August. The Hall’s bylaws allow for up to 10 inductees per year.

Searer said, “The Hall welcomes nominations from all RV and manufactured housing sectors — manufacturers, dealers, campgrounds, housing communities, suppliers, user groups, trade media, associations, etc. — for the class of 2021 and beyond.”

Searer added that the nominating committees are especially interested in receiving nominations for “deserving early pioneers who may have been forgotten, passed over or overlooked in the past.”
