WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Urgent Grassroots Advocacy Effort Underway
National Electric Code issue could financially affect all RV parks
The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) is currently advocating for you and your park on an important National Electric Code (NEC) issue, and we urgently need your help!

The issue involves proposed language to the NEC which, if removed, would potentially require GFCI protection on all 30- and 50-amp receptacles on RV park site equipment, at a cost of $400 per pedestal. This means a 100-site park would have to spend $40,000 to comply.

ARVC urgently needs your help to send letters requesting the proposed language NOT be removed.   Letters need to be received by THIS FRIDAY, July 19, 2019.

We have created a template email for you, so sending your response is EASY! Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Click the "CUSTOMIZE YOUR LETTER" button below
  2. Copy and paste the email content into your email service
  3. Customize the email with your information
  4. Send to Dawn Bellis at dbellis@nfpa.org
