NEW BILL that could BAN FULLTIME RV living

After a few days of reading everyone's responses. I thought I would respond.
I am passionate about RVing and living this lifestyle. I read the blog post and clicked on the link to regulations.gov to read further and post a comment on that page.
Quite frankly I would rather be wrong about something like this than be right. It would actually be a relief. I have been called many things since I posted the article and I don't take any of it personal. I thought I was doing something good by spreading the word about this issue.
I am not an alarmist by any means just passionate..

I knew Abe, and I remember ol' Abe saying just that! LOL :D

I know this story is true. My brother in law's neighbor's cousin knows someone in Washington and he swears it is true. That is good enough for me.

Thank you.

First a Civics Lesson: Only the President or Congress can bring a bill to congress for a vote.

What you are and has been by others mistakenly identifying as a "BILL" is NOT Legislation, HUD cannot offer legislation, it is a RULE MAKING by that department. That rule making is taking place because something has changed in the area of HUD's purview and they feel a new rule is needed. The Law already exists.

Second Those that have put themsellves on You Tube and Blogged about this that has caused you to write this post either have not read this rulemaking proposal or need some serious remedial reading classes.

What is actually happening is that HUD needs to be able to differentiate between a house and an RV. And there is already an expemtion for RV's in the current rules and the new one DOES NOT CHANGE THAT.

My guess of what brings this question up for HUD is the popularity of TINY HOUSE NATION. If you have seen the TV series you will note that many of those tiny houses are being put ON TRAILER FRAMES and are towable. So the question arises what is a "HOUSE" and What is an RV?

There is NOTHING to worry about here.

Anytime a government agency wants to make a new rule they must publish the fact and give all interested parties a chance to make a case for or against. Rule making takes a long time. RVIA has already been involved with this and apparently is satisfied that there is no problem.

PLEASE PLEASE try to fully understand what you are reading. STOP believing everything you read on the internet and do some research on your own...and by research I mean going to the SOURCE DOCUMENTS as well as other sources.

And lastly this is not news. It has been going on for a long time.

Is it not great that we can get precise and accurate information about this subject on this website. I take every post as the gospel. :S

They were trying to or wanted to get MH and towable RVs that exceeded 400 sq ft with slides extended, redefined so as to fall under HUD construction requirements for manufactured homes or homes.
This was the EPA nitwits who want everybody on bicycles or riding donkeys and living in straw huts.
They really did want to curtail or eliminate RV, on the road or anywhere.
It didn't get very far.
If you can afford an RV you aren't righteous sort of thing.
Thank goodness there are still some level heads in Washington.

What you say is not true!!!!
Even the RVIA wants the rules passed to differentiate a tiny home from an RV.
