ARVC ADVOCACY UPDATE
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM
LOAN CRITERIA EXTENDED
FOR SEASONAL BUSINESSES
Great news for seasonal RV parks and campgrounds! ARVC has been advocating our industry in Washington and a new ruling now addresses the needs of seasonal RV parks and campgrounds by allowing an alternative base period for calculating PPP loans. This interim final rule provides you the option of using any consecutive 12-week period between May 1, 2019 and September 15, 2019 for determining your maximum loan amount.

CONSUMERS PLAN ON SPENDING MORE TIME OUTDOORS
A recent study by McKinsey shows more consumers (18%) getting outdoors than before COVID-19, with 90% of respondents say they plan on spending even more time outdoors. The populations getting outside the most? Gen Z and millennials—also the fastest growing segment of campers—all great news for RV parks and campgrounds.
RVS 4 MDS: SUPPORT FRONTLINE MEDICAL WORKERS
ARVC has partnered with RVs 4 MDs, a Facebook-based organization that matches medical personnel with donated RVs and accommodations while they help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
