July is a top month for RV travel and sales. Families are on summer vacation, and outdoor activities are in full swing, driving increased interest in RVs and campers. Dealers should be prepared for higher foot traffic and inquiries, said National Powersports Auctions (NPA) in its RV Pre-Owned Report for July.
As peak season progresses, demand for both new and well-maintained pre-owned RVs will likely increase. Dealers may have greater pricing leverage than earlier in the year when inventory was plentiful, and discounts were more common. For used units, expect prices to maintain their seasonal rise.
Inventory Management is Essential
Optimize with pre-owned inventory. Dealers should focus on acquiring quality, showroom-ready pre-owned RVs. These units will be in higher demand as the price gap between new and pre-owned RVs is significant.
Balance New vs. Pre-Owned
Be strategic about new unit orders as to not overextend as the market slows. Focus on pre-owned models that are selling well and avoid overstocking slow-moving inventory.
Condition Matters
The condition of pre-owned inventory is key to reselling. RVs and campers from NPA come with comprehensive and well-photographed condition reports to provide dealers with an accurate and reliable description of the vehicle to bid and buy with confidence. Buyers are looking for value. A well-maintained, clean unit will sell faster and command a better price.
