What is RVIA Certification?
RVIA stands for the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, a national organization committed to promoting safety and quality in RV manufacturing. RVIA Certification is a seal of approval indicating that an RV has met rigorous safety and operational standards, including electrical, plumbing, heating, and fire safety.
The certification process involves unannounced inspections of manufacturing facilities, where inspectors spot-check representative RV units for compliance with over 500 safety-related standards. Every RV produced by an RVIA member manufacturer displays the RVIA certification seal, signifying that it meets these high standards and has undergone periodic compliance audits.
At RV@Olympic, RVIA Certification isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a requirement. This ensures that all RVs in our community meet essential safety and quality benchmarks. By requiring certification, we not only prioritize the safety of our guests but also maintain the high standards that make RV@Olympic a premium destination.
Additionally, most public and private campgrounds in the U.S. require RVs to display the certification seal for entry, making RVIA Certification a practical necessity for any RV enthusiast.
