Matt Amata, vice president of RV and marine at NPA, will present “Building a Smarter Pre-Owned RV Strategy Through Auctions” on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 3:45 p.m. The session will demonstrate how dealers can use market data, turn times and unit condition to source and purchase smarter, move aging units faster and protect margins in a rapidly evolving market.

Why Pre-Owned Is Taking Center Stage

Pre-owned has transitioned from a supplementary business to a primary driver for many dealerships. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing affordability and immediate availability, while rising interest rates, material, tariff and transportation costs continue to elevate new RV pricing, NPA said. For a growing number of dealers, used units now represent a significant portion of their inventory.

“Pre-owned RVs are playing a bigger role in dealer profitability every year, and getting it right comes down to valuing units accurately and sourcing them efficiently,” said Amata. “By working alongside dealers with real market data we are giving them the clarity and confidence to buy and sell smarter. Dealers can count on consistent volume, accurate condition reporting and a team that knows this segment.”

What Dealers Will Take Away From the Session

Attendees will learn to strategically integrate auctions into their pre-owned inventory sourcing and management, interpret auction market data for more informed buying and selling decisions, and evaluate the impact of condition reports on auction value and retail potential. Amata will offer practical ways to mitigate risk on trade-ins and demonstrate how to plan inventory movement around seasonal and market trends, NPA said.
