MAJOR MARVAC and PAC THANKS YOU!
Major MARVAC and the PAC thank you!
MARVAC has had a very successful year legislatively, amending the Michigan Vehicle Code to prescribe a maximum length of 65 feet when a motor home tows a trailer and 75 feet for a recreation vehicle double. MARVAC also insured that the Pure Michigan campaign, which our members benefit, continues to be funded.
Our successes are a direct result of our ability to be politically active in Lansing and your support has helped our industry gain visibility. Therefore, THANK YOU to the following members and respective companies for their 2012 contribution to the MMH&RVCA Political Action Committee:
