Missing RVIA Seal for a Florida Campground Stay

[jjrbus]

Decided to make a 1 night stay in FL. I have owned an RV for 26 years and never been asked for an RVIA, never not once. My RT does not have one, might have had it before I had it painted? 02C200P

Did they refuse you because you didn't have it?

Did not call, says it will be required to check in.

A Roadtrek would almost certainly have one.

But if it’s just for one night, skip them in favor of a campground that isn’t so nosy.

This is what's on our 2008 RT 210. Can you have someone print this picture as a sticker and put it on the camper?

Thank you, I see they have went from a cheap plastic emblem to a cheaper sticker! I was thinking if if I see an RV in a scrap yard I will pull the emblem off. They do not seem to have anyway to track or check on them.

Because the RVIA database is proprietary, there is no public, self-service online search tool to directly match a seal number to a vehicle's specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), make, model, or year. The RVIA issues these sequential stickers directly to manufacturing plants to verify compliance with fire, electrical, plumbing, and structural safety standards. [1, 2, 3, 4]

I googled the RVIA number after I posted the previous comment and read the same thing.

You may be able to call roadtrek and give them the model info and VIN number and they may send a sticker.

Honestly, until this question was posted on here, I never paid any attention to that sticker before. I just happened to look at it as we were going into the camper last night and I looked a little closer.

26 years with an RV and never been asked and never heard of anyone else being asked for it. I did hear about them in the bus conversion community but they treated it like a joke.

I would guess it is only the big manufactures that are involved and the small van converter companys and custom trailer manufactures not involved. Never heard of DIY van conversions mentioning them either. Real oddity.

The Diamond Lake, WA KOA campground (35 miles north of Spokane) was happy to let us in with our tent, but a year later when we returned with our brand new DIY Promaster - - we were NOT welcome. In subsequent conversations with KOA management we were informed that - - as independent privately-owned facilities - - their franchisees are free to discriminate. Hmmm, wonder how a McDonald's franchisee would fare if they decided to paint their 'arch', red?

I refuse to stay at any KOA!
