                               RESOLUTION


 
  Supporting and recognizing the goals and ideals of ``RV Centennial 
Celebration Month'' to commemorate 100 years of enjoyment of recreation 
                     vehicles in the United States.

Whereas 1910 marks the first year of mass-produced, manufactured, motorized 
        campers and camping trailers;
Whereas 1 in 12 households in the United States own a recreation vehicle 
        (referred to in this preamble as an ``RV''), and over 30,000,000 RV 
        enthusiasts take part in this affordable and environmentally friendly 
        form of vacationing;
Whereas RV vacations allow families in the United States to build stronger 
        relationships, explore the great outdoors, and take part in healthy 
        activities;
Whereas this homegrown industry, including RV manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, 
        and campgrounds, employs hundreds of thousands of people in good-paying 
        jobs across all 50 States;
Whereas traveling in an RV offers the freedom, comfort, and flexibility to see 
        all parts of the United States, from historic landmarks and National 
        Parks to local campgrounds and sporting events; and
Whereas the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the RV into the marketplace 
        in the United States will be celebrated June 7, 2010, at the RV/MH Hall 
        of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports and recognizes the goals and ideals of ``RV 
        Centennial Celebration Month'' to commemorate 100 years of 
        enjoyment of recreation vehicles in the United States; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to celebrate 
        this anniversary by taking part in recreation vehicle 
        vacations.
