Ready-to-buy consumers are being ignored by Canadian dealers who aren’t following up with Go RVing leads, according to the recent RVDA of Canada eBulletin.

RVDA of Canada based its statement upon a recent Go RVing Canada survey of 400 Website visitors, which found only 11 percent of those visitors got a call. RVDA of Canada said that, extrapolating those findings, in 2009, 69,637 consumers gave permission t be contacted by tie-in program dealers, but 56,637 of them were left waiting for a call.

RVIARVIA President Richard Coon will provide presentations focusing on the U.S. RV industry and RVIA in meetings with two European RV organizations this spring.

The RV Dealers Association has filed official comments with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) stating that Congress did not intend for RV dealerships to be covered under the SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act.

The Act directs state legislatures to adopt licensing requirements for mortgage loan originators.  In comments filed on March 5, RVDA said that RVs are classified as vehicles, and regulated as temporary accommodations by both federal and state government agencies.
