The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA) said it recognizes the importance of providing insights and guidance to our industry partners and stakeholders. “However, given the current uncertainty surrounding potential tariff measures between Canada and the United States, we will not offer forward-looking guidance at this time.
“For decades, the recreational vehicle industry in Canada and the United States has enjoyed a strong and mutually beneficial relationship. Our manufacturers, dealers and consumers have long relied on an integrated supply chain and seamless cross-border trade that has supported tens of thousands of jobs and contributed significantly to both economies,” the association said.
“The RV sector, in particular, has thrived under this cooperation, ensuring that high-quality products reach consumers and dealers in both countries efficiently and competitively.
“As we face challenges posed by trade uncertainties, CRVA remains hopeful that our respective governments will prioritize restoring the longstanding relationship and friendship we have enjoyed.
“We believe a return to fair and reciprocal trade will continue to benefit manufacturers, dealers and consumers on both sides of the border.”
CRVA said it is committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to advocate for a resolution that protects the industry and ensures continued growth and stability for the future.
