Recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer and dealer agreements
We're implementing a new law relating to RV manufacturers and dealers. Effective June 6, 2024, you can't sell new RVs in Washington without first entering into a written agreement with the manufacturer. The agreement must:
- Establish regulations and provisions for both parties.
- Provide obligations for warrantors of RVs, RV parts, components, and accessories.
- Outline a clear process for civil dispute resolutions, mediation, and relief if you're injured by another party’s violations.
- Be signed by both parties.
The law defines RVs as:
- Vehicles towed by a consumer-owned vehicle, and
- Designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use. Examples include:
- Only travel trailers.
- Fifth-wheel travel trailers.
- Truck campers.
- Folding camping trailers.
