Settlement Nearing in RV Formaldehyde Lawsuit

More than six years after the first travel trailers began arriving in the Gulf Coast following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, a settlement is pending for the lawsuits filed after toxic levels of formaldehyde were found in those recreational vehicles.

The Elkhart Truth reported that April 9 was the deadline for RV manufacturers and the displaced hurricane victims who lived in the units to submit a proposed class settlement agreement to the Eastern District Court of Louisiana. This will not end the litigation but will start the process towards a conclusion.

According to court documents, at least 28 manufacturing defendants are participating in the settlement, including the Elkhart County-based Dutchmen Manufacturing Co., Heartland Recreational Vehicles, Keystone RV Co., Skyline Corp. and Sunnybrook RV Inc.

Four manufacturers have not reached a settlement, according to court records. These defendants are Gulf Stream Coach Inc., Jayco Enterprises Inc./Starcraft, Forest River Inc./Vanguard Industries of Michigan, and the insurance companies — American International Specialty Lines, Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania and Lexington Insurance Co. — for the former Monaco Coach Corp.

Proposed Mass. Intiative Could Hurt RV Industry

Editor’s Note: The following is an article from RVIA Today Express outlining a proposed “right to repair” initiative in Massachusetts aimed at the auto sector that, if passed, could pose a threat for the RV industry.

For nearly a decade, independent car repair shops have battled unsuccessfully in state capitals and the halls of Congress to gain 24-hour a day, 7-day a week access to the same data, parts, and repair schematics that car manufacturers provide to their franchised car dealers.

Nowhere has this battle raged hotter than in Massachusetts where car manufacturers and dealers have been trying to reach a legislative accommodation with independent repair shops for six years. Frustrated by their inability to achieve a legislative compromise acceptable to all parties, Massachusetts independent repair shops have decided to pursue a ballot initiative to achieve their goals that would not only create many unintended consequences for the RV industry, it could make it impossible to sell RVs in Massachusetts should the initiative pass as drafted. Worst of all, the language of the initiative is unamendable.

The ballot initiative would prohibit any motor vehicle manufacturer (the definition of ‘motor vehicle’ in Massachusetts includes both motorhomes and RV trailers), starting with model year 2015, from selling a new motor vehicle in Massachusetts without allowing the owner, or the owner’s designated in-state independent repair facility, to obtain diagnostic and repair information electronically on an hourly, daily, monthly, or yearly subscription basis. Worse, the manufacturer would have to provide access to the information through a non-proprietary vehicle interface, using the SAE J2534 standard applied in federal emissions-control regulations for light duty vehicles.

“The proposed ballot initiative affects an issue that is very complex just within the car industry. But its application to all motor vehicles, including RVs, is a classic case of attempting to drive a square peg into variously-shaped holes,” said Matt Wald, director of government affairs for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). “Further, it will lead to unintended consequences and irreconcilable issues for the RV industry.”

On March 21, Wald explained the potential threat that these unintended consequences pose to the RV industry in testimony before a joint Massachusetts Senate/House hearing on the Massachusetts Right to Repair ballot initiative. He highlighted the five concerns the RV industry has with regard to the initiative:

Definition of ‘Motor Vehicle’

Fundamental in terms of ambiguity with regard to the RV industry, the proposal lacks a satisfactory specific definition of or reference to a definition of ‘motor vehicle.’ As drafted, this would leave both motorhomes as well as towable RVs subject to this law. RVIA is seeking the exclusion of RVs from the types of motor vehicles meant to be included under this potential law.

Multi-Stage Built Vehicles

With regard to motorhomes, their unique method of manufacture is simply not contemplated by the proposal. The ballot initiative assumes that all motor vehicles are produced in a vertically-integrated manufacturing process. Because of the various manufacturing methods used in assembling chassis components and then building an RV on top of that assembly, vertically integrated chassis and RV final stage manufacture are not the norm in the RV industry. The ballot initiative does not account for this difference, making the proposal unworkable for the RV industry.

RV Manufacturers Do Not Control Access to RV Emissions Systems and Data

Given this unique method of manufacture, in the RV industry it is the RV engine supplier, not the RV manufacturer, that is legally responsible for certification and compliance, as well as repairs (both warranty and otherwise), for emissions-related as well as other drive train matters. So it is the engine supplier that controls the emissions and repair systems for the drive train. RV engine and drive train suppliers certify RV engine, chassis and transmission repair facilities and provide repair data, not RV manufacturers. For the RV manufacturer, this is not a question of not wanting to comply with the data and systems access provisions of the proposed initiative or finding compliance difficult. It is literally impossible for an RV manufacturer to comply with the requirement for the provision of data and access to systems over which the RV manufacturer itself has no control.

Focus on the SAE J2534 Standard

Another significant problem with the proposal as it relates to RVs is its focus on requiring the use of SAE J2534 for on board diagnostic (OBD) information on all motor vehicles. J2534 is a light duty vehicle standard for delivery of emissions information not used in medium and heavy duty chassis component systems that many RVs are built on, including components built by RV manufacturers. As drafted, the proposal creates irreconcilable standards and ambiguity with regard to the non-J2534 medium and heavy duty systems used in RVs. Meanwhile, the application of this proposal to towable RVs is nonsensical, as towables don’t even have emissions systems through which to coordinate the use of the J2534 standard to deliver OBD information. So it is impossible for a towable manufacturer to apply the J2534 standard to their ‘motor vehicles’ sold in the state.

RV OBD Systems not Related to the Drive Train

RVs contain household-like systems with OBD not contemplated in automobiles such as waste tank systems, kitchen appliances and propane systems. It is not clear from the proposal whether such systems would fall under the requirement to enable the owner or independent repair facility the capability to utilize such systems via the worldwide web. If it did, that would require massive investments of new technology in those OBD systems.

“This proposed initiative is an imprecise, overly broad proposal that fails to take into account the significant differences among manufacturing, distribution and repair of motor vehicle types other than cars, creating unacceptable ambiguities and unintended consequences for the RV industry,” said Wald. “If it is approved as drafted in November, there is a distinct possibility that RV manufacturers may no longer be able to sell RVs in Massachusetts starting with model year 2015. That is an unintended consequence that must be avoided”

RVIA is strongly opposing this proposed ballot initiative as drafted and strongly recommending that the legislative process for deciding these issues move forward, and that in that process the legislature exempt RVs from the final law.

The car manufacturers, dealers and independent repair shops have until late June to hammer out a legislative compromise. If they fail then this ballot initiative will go before the voters of Massachusetts as drafted, where opinion polls indicate that it could pass by a wide margin.

Consumer Confidence Helps Drive Up RV Sales

The sales numbers for recreational vehicles the first two months of 2012 speak volumes. But what’s behind the numbers may say even more.

The South Bend Tribune reported that according to the Reston, Va.-based Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA):

• RV shipments to retailers rose 31.8% in February above January’s totals and were up 24.2% over February of last year.

• The 24,600 units reported in the latest survey of manufacturers marked the best February in four years.

• The two-month total, which also included a 5.1% increase in RV shipments in January, were 15.2% above last year for the same period.

“I think just the general overall confidence in the economic recovery has played a big role,” said Sid Johnson, director of marketing at Jayco in Middlebury, Ind.

Besides that, Johnson also points to rising consumer confidence and the stock market’s upswing over the last year, especially the past few months.

The stock market’s performance is defined by many economists as the wealth factor, Johnson said, and many RV customers’ buying intentions “are heavily influenced by the health of their 401(k)s.”

Making the numbers even more impressive is that manufacturers feared an incentive program offered to dealers last fall might have sped up the buying and would end up hurting the early numbers in 2012.

“But retail sales just stayed strong on a year-to-year basis,” Johnson said. At Jayco, 2011 sales started increasing at about 9% and they kept getting a tad better up to 18%, Johnson said.

February through June are typically the biggest shipping months in the RV industry.

The upsurge by Jayco and the RV industry is important since manufacturers and suppliers employ more than 24,000 people in Elkhart County. Northern Indiana builds 82% of all recreational vehicles in the U.S., according to the RVIA.

Jayco, which makes everything from small folding camping trailers to large Class A motorhomes, employed 2,200 workers prior to the recession. After the recession hit, it hit a low of 1,100 employees by 2009.

Today, Jayco employs between 1,850 and 1,900 people. It could even reach prerecession sales levels by the end of 2012, Johnson said.

The outlook has definitely changed compared with three years ago.

“I think there’s a feeling of confidence that the economy has strengthened to the point where we can plan for the future and are not constantly reacting to things of the marketplace,” said Johnson, who also chairs the market information committee of the RVIA.

His only concern is the rising gas prices. But he quickly added, “I just went to a big rally last week in Phoenix and there were about 4,000 RV rigs at the rally, and I did not hear one comment about gasoline prices at all,” he said. “And I talked to hundreds of customers. So I don’t think the $4 bothers them. What might bother them is the uncertainty of where gasoline prices are headed.”

He added, “There’s a certain amount of concern in our business that that could slow things down. That’s why I use the word confident instead of enthusiastic or a word stronger than that.”

Feb. Shipments Up Sharply, Show 24% YOY Gain

RV shipments to retailers rose sharply in February, climbing 31.8% above last month and up 24.2% ahead of this same month last year.

The 24,600 units reported in the latest survey of manufacturers marked the best February total in four years for all RV products and raised the first two month’s total this year 15.2% above the same period one year ago.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, February shipments were at an annual rate of more than 286,000 units, a gain of 12.9% over the January rate.

For the first two months of 2012, shipments were ahead of last year by 15.2% on shipments of 43,300 units. Shipments of towable RVs have improved 17% to 39,200 units while motorhome products have held their own and produced 4,100 units so far this year.

Fore Asks Members to Engage Political Leaders

Editor’s Note: After addressing legislative matters at the March 8 membership meeting, Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) Chairman Gregg Fore, president of Dicor Corp., issued this appeal to the membership regarding political challenges that, he points out, are beyond RVIA’s internal control and beyond the reach of the trade association’s strategic plan. These, on the contrary, are “broader issues that impact our industry” that come from “external sources.” Here, verbatim, are his comments:

I don’t want to use this platform to go into a deep political discourse, as most of you know my personal politics. As both a proud American and chairman of RVIA, I believe passionately in our collective strength as a nation and as an industry – and I know each of you share that passion.

Our industry, like many in this country, features a collection of small businesses as well as larger conglomerates. From the hard-working Americans who build our products, to the small business owners who sell and maintain them, we all share a stake in the larger economic and political landscape that shapes our day-to-day dealings.

For myriad reasons, our economy continues to limp along. While we’ve seen signs of improvement, one is left to wonder if some of that comes from the inherent optimism found in most Americans, and that many are simply tired of contributing to negativity.

Today’s economy is more complex than it used to be. It is more global, and failings overseas can create skittishness in the States that leads to enhanced fluctuations and further stymies our recovery. It can be a vicious cycle.

But many of the problems that continue to hinder our recovery are of our own making. Over-governance and legislative over-zealousness can result in punitive marketplace conditions that stifle growth.

When American manufacturing and industry works best, it does so under market conditions that allow for the proven and sustained supply and demand model to flourish. It’s an engine that performs most efficiently when given the freedom needed to innovate; to be entrepreneurial, to anticipate and meet the ever changing needs of the consumer while inviting investment in continued research and development.

It presents us all with some fundamental questions. As an industry, should we not support a corporate tax rate more in line with other industrialized nations — one that promotes US growth and investment?

Or a domestic fuel policy that appropriately balances the need for researching alternative fuel sources with responsible usage of our Country’s own abundant resources – much like the approach taken by our neighbors to the North?

Or ending regulation that may be well intended, but upon implementation is rife with unintended consequences that stifles innovation and increases costs to consumers?

Earlier, I asked for your active participation in our association, and I ask for it again as we look at the many external issues that impact our industry every day – whether spawned from the Executive, Legislative or Regulatory arms of government.

It is incumbent upon each of us, as well as RVIA, to actively engage our political leaders to voice our positions on the key issues that impact our businesses, our employees and their families. We have a responsibility to stay involved to ensure we are prepared for the issues we face today and the ones we will face tomorrow.

RVIA is our association, but it only succeeds with your active support. All of us need to continue the fight to ensure a free business environment that is grounded in the proven laws of supply and demand…one that promotes healthy and honest competition among business entities… and one devoid of onerous and artificial market influences.

This is at the core of what all of us in RVIA should be fighting for. For it is at the center of our continued success, and will help ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with products and services that are unequaled in quality and workmanship.

Even though it seems we are constantly facing government roadblocks, I remain very optimistic about both our industry and our country. Clearly, there is much we have to do – and we must do it together.

The dragons aren’t hard to spot, whether within our industry, or at the state and federal government level. Finding the dragon is the easy part, slaying them is another story. It takes planning, perseverance, and strength. And that strength comes from us.

 

 

RVIA Offers PR, Ad Highlights at Annual Meeting

During RVIA’s March 8 Annual Membership Meeting, Public Relations Committee Chairman B.J. Thompson and Vice President of Public Relations and Advertising James Ashurst provided attendees with an update on the industry’s public relations and marketing activities.

According to a press release, the presentation kicked off with the new “AWAY” campaign creative showcasing the industry’s return to the emotion-driven focus on family fun, affordability and flexibility of RV travel.

Ashurst offered an overview of the 2012 strategic media plan, detailing how the $10.3 million advertising spend for 2012 features a strong mix of proven media and several expanded and new media partnerships.

“The advertising market is changing, and so are the days of the traditional ad buy,” he said. “Our strategic focus for 2012 is to identify advertising partnerships that allow for greater brand extensions than we’ve done in the past – opportunities that will stretch our ad dollars, add value and encourage additional partnerships in the future with like-minded brands.”

Thompson led the public relations discussion by updating attendees on RVIA’s move to bring more of the PR function in-house by using consultants that have been contracted to supplement internal efforts. He touched on several recent successes, including more than 100 newspapers picking up an Associated Press story on the state of the industry, as well as dozens of local print stories touting the early RV consumer show season.

“RVs continued to receive positive media coverage during the winter months, and our work with earned media throughout the year will continue to deliver the message that RVs provide consumers with the opportunity to pursue their passions, build connections through shared adventures, and that there is an RV that fits their needs and budget,” Thompson said.

Thompson showcased several videos highlighting recent consumer media features including national broadcast coverage on Fox&Friends and Rachael Ray, as well as footage from HGTV’s RV 2012, and HGTV’s most popular series House Hunters – a segment featuring a couple looking to settle down in an RV. RVIA worked closely with producers on each of these segments, and have laid the groundwork for additional coverage moving forward.

Thompson concluded, “PR continues to be a driving force behind our ongoing promotional efforts. The PR team and our media consultants are working on numerous projects, and we are extremely confident that despite the ever-present uncertainty in the economy, 2012 will be a banner year in terms of positive media coverage for RVs.”

On the “AWAY” campaign front, Ashurst shared videos from Go RVing’s first-ever national RV giveaways with the Great American Country (GAC) and Outdoor Channel cable networks. The GAC partnership is a multi-platform execution that features multiple vignettes starring country music artist Chuck Wicks, a six-page special section in People Country magazine, and culminates with the grand prize of a 2012 Lance Ultralight travel trailer. The Outdoor Channel, which will air four Go RVing vignettes featuring the network’s popular hunting and fishing hosts, is offering a 2012 Somerset off-road folding camping trailer from Columbia Northwest as the grand prize in the network’s “Spring Fever” promotion.

Ashurst touched on several other promotions with top media brands including National Geographic Channel and an expanded partnership with Speed Channel that features popular host Rutledge Wood and his family traveling in a type A motorhome provided by Monaco in a custom on-air segment

Additionally, Ashurst highlighted how Go RVing is staying aggressive in the sports category, with a more robust execution with MLB Network. The 2012 partnership, dubbed the “Home and Away Tour”, includes an eight-market stadium tour featuring a custom-wrapped motorhome from Jayco that allows for mobile studio interviews with players and managers in and around the RV. An exciting new partnership has been forged with NFL Network, providing Go RVing a highly visible presence during the network’s popular Game Day Morning. The collaboration will feature editorial and advertising extensions in the league’s new monthly, NFL Magazine.

Additionally, Go RVing has struck a deal with CBS Sports Network that will include RV-specific content as part of packages celebrating unique college football tailgating traditions.

Franchise Laws on RVIA’s Annual Meeting Radar

The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) continues to lobby – with considerable success — for industry-friendly franchise laws in many U.S. locales, RVIA Chairman Gregg Fore reported during RVIA’s Annual Meeting, March 4-9 at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort in Palm Springs, Calif.

RVIA’s staff last year worked on 49 franchise bills in 30 states, Fore, president of Elkhart, Ind.-based Dicor Corp., told some of the 160 people during the membership meeting. “That’s a lot, and RVIA was successful in most cases,” he said. “This year, we are working in 17 states on 20 franchise bills with outcomes still to be determined.

“In most cases these franchise laws are more geared toward the automotive industry,” said Fore. “Instead of trying to constantly amend franchise legislation to address RV industry concerns, we have shifted our approach to developing an alternative RV-specific franchise legislation that takes into account the differences between the automotive and RV industry business models. Working with dealers, we have been able to enact what we would term ‘fair’ RV-specific legislation in 15 states to date.”

Lemon Law legislation also continues to be one of the leading issues facing the industry, said Fore, adding that RVIA last year was involved in 10 bills in nine states, and none were enacted into law. “We are working on 10 Lemon Law bills in seven states this year to ensure fairness in this type of legislation,” he said.

Other relevant Annual Meeting topics:

• RVIA is opening an office in China to promote members’ efforts to do business in that burgeoning Asian nation, as previously posted on RVBUSINESS.com.

• RVIA and the Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association (RPTIA) announced an agreement under which park trailer manufacturers will be able to join RVIA as members, as reported March 7 on RVBUSINESS.com.

• Harmonizing Canadian and American standards remains a priority on which RVIA’s leadership and its Canadian counterparts plan to forge progress in 2012.

• Technician training and certification is a front-burner priority for RVIA and the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), said Fore. This year, after a process of identifying barriers to delivering ongoing training to RV technicians, the industry unveiled a new training program that provides a career ladder giving technicians the option of two paths to certification.

• The association, from a fiscal standpoint, is debt-free and healthy. Treasurer Derald Bontrager, president of Jayco Inc., Middlebury, Ind., reported that 2011 revenues of $12.3 million, though off from $14 million in 2010, exceeded 2011 expenses of $11.8 million. This year’s budget, in turn, calls for revenues of $12.5 million against expenses of $12.65 million for a marginal deficit of about $195,000.

• Debate continues regarding the fate of national trade shows, a hot topic lately in RVIA and RVDA circles, although it wasn’t a decision item on the board’s agenda.

Meanwhile, in his turn at the podium during the membership meeting, RVIA Chairman Richard Coon pointed out just how much the recession has taken a bite out of the RV industry and, consequently, RVIA. While wholesale shipments slipped 32% since 2006, RVIA’s membership roster — including 98% of U.S. RV builders — slipped 28% since 2008 from 542 to 392. Manufacturing membership fell 39% from 108 to 66. RVIA’s Virginia-based staff, in turn, was cut from 61 to 47.

“By the way, if I had to guess about the manufacturing membership, I don’t think we’ll turn around and go back up,” Coon told RVBusiness. “I could be wrong, but I think you’ll see more consolidations continue versus more people (companies) coming in over the next five years.”

 

 

RVIA’s Coon Examines Future Trends for Industry

Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) President Richard Coon detailed a number of key issues on the association’s agenda that will have long-term implications for the RV industry while addressing members at the March 8 Annual Membership Meeting at Ranchos Las Palmas in Palm Springs, Calif.

“RVIA is working diligently on these important items because they will play a factor in the continued success of our members and the RV market,” said Coon.

Coon said the association is continuing to identify and maximize the potential of global opportunities, noting that in addition to the established markets in North America, Europe and Australia there are potential new markets in China, Brazil and South Africa. “There are tremendous growth opportunities for RV manufacturers and suppliers across the globe,” said Coon. “RVIA is working to make it easier for our members to take advantage of these global opportunities by studying the market potential and gaining an understanding the legislative and regulatory environment in these markets.”

On a related note, Coon pointed to the ongoing efforts to harmonize United States and Canadian RV standards. “Our goal is to have a uniform standard so that American and Canadian manufacturers can do business in a more efficient, cost-effective way,” said Coon.

Coon also said the destination camping market is a new area of focus for the association. An ad-hoc Destination Camping Committee composed of RV and park trailer manufacturers as well as campground industry members was formed to determine the size, scope and potential of this market. “With destination camping taking many forms, defining what it exactly is can be a little difficult, but we do know that it is a growing part of the RV and campground industries that requires our attention,” said Coon.

Coon also told attendees that the RV industry is expected to have its best year since 2007 based on the latest RV wholesale projections from economist Richard Curtin in the spring 2012 issue of RV Roadsigns. “RVIA is projecting 265,200 units to be shipped this year, which would be a 5.1% increase over the 2011 year-end total of 252,300 units,” he said.

RVIA Honors Industry Leaders at Annual Meeting

During the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) Annual Membership Meeting, held March 8 at Ranchos Las Palmas in Palm Springs, Calif., RVIA honored industry leaders who exhibited outstanding contributions to the association and the RV industry this past year.

“RVIA’s Awards program recognizes individuals in a variety of areas who work selflessly and diligently for the betterment of the RV industry,” said RVIA Chairman Gregg Fore in a press release. “It is an honor to acknowledge the success they have achieved.”

Awards included:

• Distinguished Service Award: Recognized as the industry’s highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award recognizes an individual within the RV Industry who sets themselves apart through outstanding service. This year’s recipient was Jeff Hanemaayer, chairman of Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. “Through his leadership roles with RVIA, the Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA), Go RVing and Go RVing Canada, Jeff has served as an ambassador helping to unite the RV markets in Canada and the United States to create a true North American RV industry,” said Fore. “He helped guide the formation of RVIA’s Canadian Coalition Committee that is focused on harmonizing standards, synchronizing Go RVing advertising efforts and coordinating legislative and regulatory lobbying efforts.”

• Special Award: Sid Johnson, director of marketing at Jayco Inc., was honored with the Special Award for his extraordinary contributions to the RV industry’s overall success. As a 12-year member of RVIA’s Market Information Committee, including service as chairman from 2006-20011, Johnson has helped guide the transition of industry shipment data into the electronic age. “Through his leadership, RVIA has advanced the accuracy, relevance and timeliness of industry shipment data and market research that members rely upon to make critical business decisions,” said Fore.

• Distinguished Achievement in RV Standards – The Distinguished Achievement in RV Standards Award, honoring an individual making outstanding contributions toward the advance of standards in the RV industry, was presented to Dave Mihalick, standards compliance manager at Thor Industries Inc. “In his service as member of RVIA’s Standards Steering Committee and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee, Dave is leading the charge in addressing critical standards and harmonization issues related to the import and export of RV products,” said Fore. “This is critically important work as the RV industry develops an even greater global footprint.”

RVIA also announced the following award recipients who were not able to attend the Annual Meeting. These awards will be presented at RVIA’s Committee Week in Washington, D.C. in June.

• David J. Humphreys Industry Unity Award – Lance Wilson, Florida RV Trade Association

• National Scholastic Award – Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

• National Education Service Award – Steve Evenson, Winnebago Industries Inc.

• Distinguished Achievement in RV Journalism – HGTV
