According to reporting from the RV Industry Association, the COVID restrictions implemented New Mexico in November have been extended until further notice, at least through Feb. 26. Under the order, vehicle manufacturing and servicing are considered essential and are allowed to remain open. All other segments of the RV industry fall under the state’s “Red to Green” framework, which severely restricts activities in counties designated as Red. Only eight counties are not designated as Red in the current map; seven are currently Yellow (Union, Colfax, San Miguel, Los Alamos, Socorro, Sierra and Grant), while Harding County is designated Green.
For dealerships in Red counties, sales visits by appointment are permitted, as long as capacity is limited to 25 percent or 75 customers, whichever is lower. In counties designated as Yellow, the limits are 25 percent, or 125 customers, while in the Green county, the limit is 50 percent of maximum capacity. Completely online sales are permitted in all counties.
RVIA said its government affairs team will continue to monitor state activities in response to the COVID crisis and advocate for the critical role of the RV industry within the state.
