The central place of business must be located within this state. The licensee must be permitted to use unimproved lots and premises for sales, storage, or display of motor-powered recreational vehicles. A nonrefundable fee of fifty dollars will be charged for each inspection and must accompany each initial application for a motor-powered recreational vehicle dealer's license.
