The RV Industry Association is the premier organization serving the RV industry, and it annually publishes stories on why it is beneficial to you to pay the fees to belong as a member. Here is part one of that series:
Membership in the RV Industry Association provides companies with access to research, resources, and reports unavailable anywhere else. But even more importantly, membership means having the expertise of a talented group of standards, government affairs, research, and marketing professionals who serve as an extension of your own staff. In this two-part series, we will share how to get the most out of your membership by first detailing what makes up the RV Industry Association and then explaining the specific ways you can maximize your membership.
The RV Industry Association is the leading trade voice of the $140 billion dollar RV industry, representing approximately 495 manufacturers and component and aftermarket suppliers who together produce 98 percent of all RVs made in the United States, and approximately 60 percent of RVs produced worldwide. It is the collective voice of these members that make the association so impactful and beneficial to each member.
There are three main pillars that make up the Association:
- Go RVing, our consumer-facing advertising arm charged with attracting new consumers to RVing and conducting consumer research.
- The core programs of the association consisting of self-regulation and industry standards, government relations, events, and market data insights.
- RV Technical Institute, our educational arm charged with the training, certification, and recruitment of RV technicians.
These three parts of the association work together to promote and protect the RV industry and our members.
