Membership renewals for all members of the RV Industry Association (RVIA) are currently underway. Thanks to the support of more than 450 members, RVIA has accomplished a lot in a challenging year and looks forward to continuing its industry success into 2022, the association said.
By renewing membership, companies will remain valued stakeholders in the growing the RV industry, with access to association resources and benefits that will boost business. These resources and benefits include:
- Self-Regulation – The standards and inspection program has created a self-regulated RV industry with uniform standards across the United States. The team of professional, expert inspectors assists members in better understanding and complying with applicable standards and regulatory requirements within their construction process.
- Advocacy – The government affairs team works daily with lawmakers and regulators to maintain a favorable market landscape that increases demand for products and services. By advocating for the RV industry at the federal and state level, RVIA protects against onerous legislation and regulations that could adversely impact the industry while also promoting legislation that makes it easier for consumers to buy, drive and own RVs.
- Market Insight – RVIA is the chief source of insightful market data focusing on RV wholesale shipments, RV industry trends and consumer research of RV owners and prospective owners. Members have exclusive access to this data to assist in making informed, data-driven business decisions in an evolving RV market.
- RV Industry Promotion – Through the award-winning Go RVing national advertising campaign and an impactful public relations program, RVIA creates the market demand for the RV lifestyle by igniting a passion for RVing among key target markets. Members can connect with Go RVing programs to increase visibility and grow their business.
- Technical Education – Guided by the RV Technical Institute, the association delivers diverse educational programs and services designed to share expertise and support members’ business goals. Technical information is developed and disseminated to the industry stakeholders to promote the manufacture, distribution, repair and use of our members’ products.
- Being Involved, Being Informed – Members receive the most out of membership by participating in association activities. Participation in association committees, and events and advocacy during our RVs Move America Week in Washington D.C., is not only the best way to learn about industry issues, but also creates opportunities to contribute to the advancement of the RV industry while forging new relationships to grow business. Membership also provides access to our rvia.org website, newsletters and email communications that keep you up to date on issues vital to the success of your business and growth of the RV industry. Members also have access to RV Industry Association staff and industry experts on a wide range of topics.
More information on getting the most of your membership can be found in our Maximizing Your Membership Series (Part One and Part Two). The 2020 RV Industry Association Annual Report also details the many ways the association works to advance the interests of the industry and members on numerous fronts.
If members have questions or did not receive the renewal email on Nov. 1, contact RVIA’s membership team at memberservices@rvia.org.
