Tell them you’re L, B, G, T or Q. Or all of them at once. It works at the cake shops. ![]()

RVIA certification does mean that it was built by a company that supposedly knew how to wire the electrical circuits, the plumbing etc. The reasoning behind only allowing RVIA is a safety issue, a concern for our facilities and quite honestly, an easy way to turn away schoolies, hippie mobiles and rent-a-wreck vans driven by Buffalo Bob wannabes. But if you insist in trying to circumvent those motivations by a sticker, I will easily come up with another way, up to and including, "sorry, your rig does not meet our standards, and we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason".
If the RVIA sticker is indeed the major hang up, have one made and stick it on. I don't put too much faith in the RVIA anyway because they certify all the RV's and we all know how crappy they are built. Adam |

Check the state campgrounds on your route, most of them are nice and I have never been refused camping.

Wow, I have never heard the RVIA sticker rule, I guess I should be glad my 2002 Safari Trek has one, it was built 3 months after Monaco bought out Safari. Safari prior to the Monaco buyout was not an RVIA member so no little RVIA stickers by the door on any pre-Monaco Safari's or Beavers.

We don't stay in RV "resort" type campgrounds. Mainly state parks, private parks and rustic campgrounds. I don't remember anyone looking at our rig at check in much less checking for a RIVA sticker. I would think unless it looks like some kind of abomination no one will even know.

Your manufacturer has to be an RVIA member in order to provide stickers. Born Free, which was one of the highest rated Class C manufacturers, was never a member, and all BF's do not have RVIA stickers -- so they supplied the same vehicle data on their own cabinet sticker without the "magic seal". But, they were/are still some of the top rated units on the market. |
