humm..... are there ANY STATE or FEDERAL laws that require a trailer to be certified in order to enter or use a federal, state, county or local campground??

Most/ALL states require certification to be registered as a travel trailer, not aware of any limitations on use.

The laws merely say an RV must meet a standard, NFPA or ANSI, in the case of a camper or motorhome it's NFPA 1192, or ANSI 119.2.

So the way it works is renting a camping spot to an illegal camper is then in and of itself a similarly illegal act.


In the case of Oregon for example, the Building Codes Division - Chapter 918 says at 918-525-0040;

"(1) The minimum safety standards for recreational vehicles are adopted pursuant to OAR chapter 918, division 8.

(2) Effective January 19, 2017, the following standards are adopted by reference as the standards for the manufacture of recreational vehicles:

(a) The 2015 Edition of NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, as published by the National Fire Protection Association.

(b) The 2014 Edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, specifically but not limited to, Article 551 pertaining to Recreational Vehicles, as published by the National Fire Protection Association.

(c) The 2014 Edition of ANSI/RVIA Standard for Low Voltage Systems in Conversion and Recreational Vehicles, as published by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association."
