There will still be RV shows everywhere. It’s just that the RVIA is not hosting them or going to be involved! Not that it matters because none of the manuf seem to follow RVIA standards.
Exactly: the California show was the only RV show that the RVIA itself organized, and they're stopping doing that. Other shows are organized by other groups (dealer organizations, for instance) and are not affected in the least by the RVIA's decision.
RVIA isn't a standards body, so there are no RVIA standards for manufacturers to follow. The RVIA seal itself just states that the manufacturer certifies that the RV adheres to various standards formulated by various standard bodies, such as the NFPA (which maintains the NEC). These standards are legal requirements in most cases, anyhow, for the RV to be registered by the DOT or used in a campground, so it's not as though the manufacturer has much of a choice in the matter.
