Towables came in at $13,035, up $163 (1.2 percent) from last month. One year ago, the average motorhome sold for $45,705 and the average towable unit brought $13,301.
“Even though many areas of the country have been on the receiving end of a few bad late winter snowstorms recently, spring really is right around the corner, and shoppers will soon be heading into the dealerships,” said Eric Lawrence, principal analyst of specialty markets for Black Book. “Auction volume was up across the board, as dealers have begun to stock up their lots to take advantage of the influx of buyers. Motorized values dropped a bit at auction last month, but towables of all types have looked strong for several months.”
Auction volume was up significantly: 28 percent for motorized and 24 percent for towables.
