About RVDA


RVDA, The National RV Dealers Association, is the only national association dedicated to advancing the RV retailer's interests through education, member services, industry leadership, and market expansion programs that promote the increased sale and use of RVs and that enhance the positive image of the RV experience.

RVDA is at the forefront of dealer-manufacturer issues, state and federal legislation that affect RV retailers, the national Go RVing advertising campaign, and educational programs covering all aspects of dealer operations.

Core Mission & Advocacy

The RVDA focuses on advancing the interests of RV dealers through:

  • Government Relations: Lobbying at both state and federal levels on issues like franchise laws, consumer finance regulations, and tax policy.
  • Industry Relations: Managing the "Partners in Progress" program, which facilitates communication between dealers and manufacturers to improve product quality and service.
  • Public Image: Partnering with the "Go RVing" campaign to promote the RV lifestyle and drive foot traffic to dealerships.

Key Programs & Services

  • Education (Mike Molino RV Learning Center): This is a major pillar of the organization. It provides certification programs for "fixed operations" staff, including service managers, parts professionals, and warranty administrators.
  • RV Dealers Convention/Expo: Their annual flagship event is the largest gathering of RV dealership personnel, featuring workshops, networking, and a massive vendor expo.
  • The RV Rental Association (RVRA): A subset of the RVDA specifically for dealers who manage rental fleets.
  • Market Data: Members get access to retail statistics, industry trends, and benchmarking reports.
