The RV Industry Association’s standards inspection program has hired Steve Duncan, who brings to the team his 20 years of experience in the RV industry.
With a background in the power inverter, charger and solar energy markets, Duncan gained some of his experience in the RV industry through working at Xantrex Technologies. His responsibilities included building inverters for the RV industry, completing RV repairs and eventually managing the company’s help center and a team of RV technicians.
For the last five years, Duncan has worked at Schneider Electric Solar Inverters supporting field technicians who work to maintain large grid tie systems. He also brings many years of experience in quality systems with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and CSA Group (formerly Canadian Standards Association) certification processes.
In his new role as a standards inspector, Duncan will be traveling to manufacturers around the U.S. to conduct safety inspections.
The standards department maintains a professional team of full-time inspectors that promote the enhancement of safety by monitoring adherence to the standards adopted by the board of directors for the construction of RVs and park model RVs. The team of inspectors conducts more than 2,000 unannounced inspections of member company RV manufacturing plants annually.
