The RV Industry Association’s monthly survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments in September were 28,333 units, a decrease of nearly 46 percent compared with the 55,014 units shipped in September of 2021.
Through the first three quarters of the year, RV shipments total 415,594, a drop of 8.2 percent compared with a year ago.
“This latest shipment report shows that RV production is continuing to normalize off of last year’s record production and tracks with our latest forecast for 2022,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby. “Campgrounds continue to report strong reservations as the many people who bought RVs in the past few years are using the RVs to spend quality time with friends and family this fall while enjoying the many physical and mental health benefits of getting outdoors.”
Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, shipped 23,103 units, down 54.4% from September 2021. Motorhomes finished the month up 21.1% compared to the same month last year with 5,230 units shipped.
Park Model RVs finished September up 28.6% compared to the same month last year, with 387 wholesale shipments.
