In determining whether good cause has been established for not entering into a recreational vehicle franchise or relocating an existing dealership of the same recreational vehicle line-make, the board shall take into consideration the existing circumstances, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(a) The permanency of the investment.
(b) The effect on the retail recreational vehicle business and the consuming public in the relevant market area.
(c) Whether it is injurious to the public welfare for an additional recreational vehicle franchise to be established or an existing dealership be relocated.
(d) Whether the franchisees of the same recreational vehicle line-make in the relevant market area are providing adequate competition and convenient consumer care for the motor vehicles of the recreational vehicle line-make in the market area. In making this determination, the board shall consider the adequacy of recreational vehicle sales and, if required by the franchise, service facilities, equipment, supply of vehicle parts, and qualified service personnel.
(e) Whether the establishment of an additional franchise would increase competition and therefore be in the public interest.
