The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA) reported that RV wholesale shipments into Canada for the fourth quarter ending Dec. 31, 2025 totaled 8,320 units, representing an 11.26% increase over the 7,478 units shipped during the same period in 2024.
According to Statistical Surveys, and as reported by the RVDA of Canada, retail activity for the quarter totaled 3,130 units. The gap between wholesale shipments and retail sales reflects a meaningful rebuilding of dealer inventories during the period, as retailers replenished stock levels that had remained relatively low for much of the year.
Year-to-date RV wholesale shipments into Canada totaled 32,097 units as of December 31, 2025, compared with 30,338 units during the same period in 2024, representing an overall increase of 5.8% year-over-year.
Despite broader economic headwinds, fourth-quarter shipment growth is an encouraging signal for the Canadian RV industry. Dealers across the country continued to manage inventories carefully while replenishing stock ahead of the 2026 RV show season.
Consumer interest in the RV lifestyle remains steady, reflecting the enduring appeal of RV travel for Canadian families.
At the same time, CRVA remains mindful of external pressures affecting the market. Modest economic growth and ongoing trade uncertainties continue to influence both manufacturing activity and consumer purchasing decisions.
CRVA emphasizes the importance of maintaining a stable, tariff-free and fair North American trade environment that allows Canadian and U.S. manufacturers and dealers to operate on a predictable and competitive footing.
The Association will continue to work closely with government and industry partners on both sides of the border to support balanced and reciprocal trade, promoting confidence for manufacturers, dealers, and consumers while helping ensure the long-term stability of the RV sector across North America.
