More RV Regulations

Very interesting article concerning possible new regulations that could affect long-term RV'ers.

Considering I grew up in an era when I could skin my knees, bloody my nose and stub my toes I'm not in favor of anymore government control of much of anything.
  • As I understand the proposed definition, only NON MOTORIZED RVs would be impacted. So full timers would be limited to Class A,B,C Super Cs etc only.....Dennis

    Here's the actual proposed HUD rule.

    This proposed change is supported -- and probably originated -- in the RV industry, not the gov'ment.

    I am fairly certain that the guy who wrote the RV Daily Report article (its editor & founder no less!) didn't understand the proposed rule change.
  • We all need to remember that the article Dick linked to is an opinion piece by Greg, note that Greg did NOT link to the actual proposed regulations
    Also note Greg did not say they were proposed regulations.
  • Let me get this straight: You can be homeless, living under a bridge, and vote, get food stamps, get medical care, and get a California drivers license, along with who knows what else. But you cannot retire and live comfortably in an RV traveling around the country. A politician can move from one county to another,or from one state to another, just by renting a "loft" so that he/she can run for office in the district. But us common folk cannot travel for pleasure. Think carefully who you vote for:) I'm voting for the crazy guy, perhaps you have to be crazy to make sense of government regulations.
    (yes I know there is more than one crazy guy, but I don't want to make this thread political)...:)
  • This may also be of interest to those RV'ers who are also week-end stock car racers.
  • Seems 'some' of the RV MFGs bought into that notion quite some time ago when they stated 'Full Time Use' would void warranty :S
