This part of the misinformation that is, unfortunately, widely held by a large portion of society. Just because an RV isn't 'sticks & bricks' doesn't mean that, as required in a sticks & bricks, there isn't legally required life safety standards that MUST be met for it to be 'living quarters' to people.

You can't legally build a sticks & bricks in many places without meeting minimum fire, electrical, plumbing and structural safety standards, neither can you live, even if overnight, in an RV without meeting those standards.

In the case of RV's, the RVIA standard is the 'catch all' certification that demonstrates that the RV meets those standards.

In every jurisdiction I've ever looked at, the level of government in charge makes those minimum safety standards a requirement through zoning or life safety regulations.

Some are even more stringent, it came up in discussions regarding importing US units to Canada, where not just minimum standards are required, but the slightly more stringent Canadian regulations must be met before you can legally rent, lease, sell, or even OFFER for sale an RV that doesn't meet Canadian RV safety requirements.
