Conversion Vendor Units

A "Conversion Vendor Unit" means a motor vehicle or other structure that has been converted or built for the purpose of being used for commercial sales at temporary locations. The units must be 8 feet 6 inches or less in width (exterior floor measurement) in the set-up position, and the inside working area must be less than 40 feet in length (interior floor measurement). See WAC 296-150V.

Your used out-of-state unit may be exempt from Washington requirements

A used vendor unit that has been manufactured for use outside of the Washington State and has been used for six months or more may be exempt from compliance with Washington State requirements. But it will need an insignia issued by L&I verifying its compliance with RCW 43.22.380.
To get approval for that unit and get that insignia, you must complete a Factory Assembled Structures Alteration Application with:

  • Documentation that shows that the unit was used outside of the state for six months before being brought into Washington state. (See RCW 43.22.380.) Types of documentation include state or local health certificates.
  • Payment of the factory assembled structures alteration permit and exempt insignia fee.
  • Completion of a fire and life safety inspection.

See WAC 296-150V-0205.
