(5) Notwithstanding subsection (4), a dealer may sell outside of its designated area of sales responsibility if the dealer obtains an offsite/supplemental license pursuant to s. 320.771(7) and meets any one of the following conditions: (a) For sales of the same line-make within another dealer’s designated area of sales responsibility, the dealer must obtain in advance of the off-premise sale a written agreement signed by the dealer, the manufacturer of the recreational vehicles to be sold at the off-premise sale, and the dealer in whose designated area of sales responsibility the off-premise sale will occur which: 1. Designates the line-make of the recreational vehicles to be sold; 2. Sets forth the time period for the off-premise sale; and 3. Affirmatively authorizes the sale of the same line-make of the recreational vehicles.

Will be used to display and sell recreational vehicles; 2. Is not used for off-premise sales for more than 10 days in a calendar year; and 3. Is not the location set forth on any dealer’s license as its place of business.
