RVDA Member Tariff Advocacy Guide

 RVDA Member Tariff
 Advocacy Guide

At the RVDA of Canada, we remain committed to advocating for policies that protect and support our industry. As you may be aware, there is a potential threat of tariffs on RV imports that could significantly impact our businesses and consumers. In response, we have developed a Member Tariff Advocacy Kit to help you engage with policymakers and stakeholders on this critical issue.
 
This comprehensive document is designed to help you become an effective advocate for addressing the pending retaliatory tariff situation in Canada through grassroots
advocacy. We hope it provides you with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration you need to become a powerful advocate for our RV industry. Remember, every voice matters, and together, we can make a difference. 

This kit is designed to provide you with the tools needed to effectively communicate the impact of tariffs on your dealership and the broader RV industry.
