From your link: " Finally, although RVs have always been specifically designed for recreational purposes, some states and localities do nevertheless permit people to live in RVs as a permanent residence and will continue to do so. HUD’s proposed rule will not change that. "

Sure it doesn't change that. But it does create a stricter definition of RV, so people who have any kind of modification to expand their living space or porch would fall more clearly under HUD control.

This is all about control. HUD wants control but they are willing to give up some control to the RV industry as long as that industry adds various standards (which make it more expensive). The industry likes the fact that they can more easily exclude competition.

Are we the only ones who read the article and understand the proposal and we it is supported by RV industry?
