RVs built in the United States are built to ANSI/RVIA standards, while units built in Canada are built to CSA standards. American made can be built with the addition of CSA standards, and Canadian made to ANSI/RVIA standards..usually at extra cost. The standards set by the American National Standards Institute and the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association have been developed to ensure that all units built in the USA are compatible with other brands built in the same country. Units built in Canada are built to Canadian Standards Association codes so that they may be sold in any province in Canada. There are many differences in the codes between the two countries. If a unit is built by an American manufacturer for sale in Canada, it must be modified to meet Canadian Standards. These standards are like UL listed appliances, built to be safely used with existing construction and build technology, to be compatible and safe, no shoddy practices.
Totally worth the money. Heavier gauge wires, etc. are part of this package and well worth the investment. We never worry about burned or popped breakers and fuses.
