Once again no one is stating that a motorhomes does not have to comply with motor vehicle standards as shown by the federal and state statutes. The requirement to have an RVIA sticker is the issue and no mention of it is made anywhere.
I missed your comment earlier. I believe the confusion is based on the concept that an RVIA sticker means the unit is built to RVIA standards. This is NOT the case, RVIA are merely acting as a certifying body, overseeing and auditing the manufacturer that the units they are building comply with various FEDERAL requirements.
In fact, if you actually look at a RVIA sticker the wording is quite clear.
So again, a RVIA sticker is NOT required, if the manufacturer wanted to they could get QAI or any of a handful of other companies qualified to certify compliance to do it instead.
In fact before the harmonization of US and Canadian regulations it was common to see both an RVIA sticker and a QAI sticker certifying that the unit also met the more stringent CSA Z240 standards.
