A Brief History
of the Association
RVIA's roots extend back to August 30, 1963 when
the American Institute of Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturers (AITTCM) was
incorporated in the state of Indiana as a not-for-profit corporation under
the IRS code section 501(c)(6) rules. The original address of the
organization was 3738 West Indiana Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.
On July 8, 1968 the organization officially
adopted the name the Recreational Vehicle Institute, Inc. (RVI) retaining its
original charter. Offices were moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan and a few
years later to Plains, Illinois.
The last name change occurred on October 2, 1974
when the organization became know as the Recreation Vehicle Industry
Association, Inc. (RVIA) combining elements of RVI and the Travel
Coach Association (TCA) of Riverside, California. The National
Headquarters was moved to Chantilly, Virginia, a suburb of Washington,
D.C. The Association moved to 1896 Preston White Drive, Reston, Virginia
in January, 1985 where it is today.
