Broader sales locations for recreational vehicle dealers

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma recreational vehicle dealers can sell or display vehicles at sponsored shows with other dealers, including outside their assigned sales areas. Shows must use municipal, county, or state-owned or controlled facilities, or county, district, or state fairgrounds. The sponsor needs a $200 Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission permit, valid for up to 10 consecutive days; dealers pay $15 per vehicle. Dealers whose approved sales areas include the show are eligible, and new recreational vehicle dealers need written manufacturer or distributor approval. A permit cannot be denied because the show is in another dealer’s sales area for the same vehicle brand.

Location and time limits for private vehicle shows

Beginning November 1, 2025, only one dealer can sell recreational vehicles at a private off-site show, within its manufacturer-approved sales area. Each dealer can participate in eight private shows per calendar year, lasting up to five consecutive days each. County, district, and state fairs are exempt from the five-day limit. On private property, shows must be at least 2.5 miles from another nonparticipating recreational vehicle dealer; county- or city-owned property has no distance barrier. Dealers need written manufacturer or distributor approval, the property sponsor’s written permission, and a $15 permit for each vehicle.

Protected dealer territories and restricted promotional displays

Beginning November 1, 2025, manufacturers must name each dealer’s sales area in its agreement for each vehicle brand. During the agreement, manufacturers cannot change that area or add another dealer for the same brand within it. Before one year passes, reviewing or changing the area requires both parties’ consent. Agreements must name a principal and can name a family successor or include a succession plan, changeable by written notice. Dealers can display recreational vehicles for promotion within their assigned areas without a display permit. These off-site displays cannot include sales, negotiations, financing, credit applications, or participation by sales or finance staff.
