(b) A designated family member of a deceased or incapacitated recreational vehicle dealer may succeed the recreational vehicle dealer if the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor determines that the existing recreational vehicle dealer agreement should be honored.

(c) A recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor may object to a succession under this section for good cause.  The burden is on the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor to show good cause for the following reasons:

(3) The designated family member breached a prior recreational vehicle dealer agreement.

(4) The designated family member lacks an active line of credit sufficient to purchase the recreational vehicles.

(5) The designated family member lacks a license required by law.
