Following a story MHProNews last posted Feb. 15, 2016 regarding the (much applauded) proposed rule change by HUD that would draw a clearer distinction between manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, U. S. Representative Jackie Walorski, as co-founder of the Congressional Recreational Vehicle Caucus, led congressional attempts to clarify the distinction.

A month before HUD’s memorandum that classified some RVs and manufactured homes as the same, Rep. Walorski co-sponsored the Recreational Vehicle Certainty Act of 2014 that dealt with the same issues.

“For almost a decade, the RV industry has waited for HUD to provide clear rules and guidelines that define recreational vehicles,” Walorski said. “Today, that wait is over. RV businesses and manufacturers in my district – home to the RV Capital of the World – now have protections from burdensome regulations. For the first time, this important industry will have the certainty needed to keep making quality RVs for the world, enabling our RV industry in Indiana to continue to thrive and succeed.” ##
