Manufacturers pay for a sticker, and pass the cost on with a profit. There's no real oversight, and absolutely nothing to "demonstrate" that they meet any standard.
the RVIA standard is the 'catch all' certification that demonstrates that the RV meets those standards.
That's an unfounded, and frankly, silly statement. As a legal oversight body the RVIA perform routine audits and spot inspections to ensure that the standards, both ANSI and NFPA, are being met.
RVIA is not any sort of "legal oversight body," they're a private industry trade association with voluntary membership. Manufacturers self-certify compliance, and whatever rare audits and inspections might possibly happen, they're obviously ineffective.
