Five Months After San Francisco's RV Ban, 82 People Housed
Original source: Mission Local

Five months after San Francisco implemented a ban on oversize vehicle parking, 82 out of 271 people enrolled in the city's large vehicle permit program have been matched with housing. During this period, 169 large vehicles have been towed, mostly in the Bayview-Hunters Point area. Some former RV dwellers excluded from the program due to missing license plates or registration are now street homeless.

San Francisco's new crackdown on RV encampments encountered operational issues on its first day of enforcement. The city towed vehicles from some homeless residents who were unable to obtain permits, while data shows discrepancies in the permit distribution process. The program, launched in June, offers temporary permits in exchange for accepting housing, but enforcement began on November 1st.

San Francisco began enforcing two-hour parking limits for large vehicles on November 1, towing those without permits. Internal documents show a rushed rollout, with only 299 permits issued by October 31, leaving many of the 503 households counted in May at risk. The program excludes residents with inoperable vehicles or lacking documentation, and its rules conflict with earlier city assurances about completing outreach before towing.

MRCOOL has introduced the TravelCool, a 15,000 BTU rooftop heat pump for RVs and travel trailers. The unit operates at 55 dB in Eco mode and 59 dB in Turbo mode, stands 11 inches tall, and is available in ducted and ductless configurations. It cools to 63°F in outdoor temperatures up to 109°F and heats to 81°F in temperatures as low as 41°F. The launch follows RVIA data showing 37 million Americans planned RV trips in summer 2026.

According to the RV Industry Association's (RVIA) July 2026 survey of manufacturers, total RV shipments reached 19,948 units, an 11.9% decrease from 22,633 units in July 2025. Through seven months, shipments are down 13.9% to 183,592 units compared to 213,338 at the same point last year. Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, fell 9.8% to 17,754 units, while motorhomes dropped 25.6% to 2,194 units. Park model RVs increased 29.7% to 410 units in July and are up 24.5% year-to-date with 3,015 units shipped.

According to the RV Industry Association's quarterly survey, 23 million Americans plan to take an RV trip this fall. Over 11 million intend to travel over Labor Day, and 9.4 million non-owners plan to rent or borrow an RV. Affordability is the top reason cited, followed by comfort and fall foliage. National parks and scenic destinations have surpassed beaches for the first time as the most common destinations. Among likely buyers, 35% expect to purchase within three months, nearly double the rate from two years ago.

At the 2026 RV Dealers Convention/Expo in Las Vegas, an education session will focus on using market intelligence and adaptive pricing tools. Co-founders Justin Marvin and Kishore Rajgopal of Rapidious will discuss how dealers can evaluate changing market conditions using data such as competitive inventory, historical activity, sales velocity, and inventory age. The session is scheduled for Thursday at 8 a.m. in the Champagne 1 room as part of the Dealer/GM track. The event runs Nov. 9–13 at Paris Las Vegas.
