Dealers remain optimistic about current conditions, as well as in the three- to five-year time period, based upon the latest dealer survey conducted by financial services firm Baird in conjunction with the RV Dealers Association.
Results of the April Baird RV Dealer Index found that the dealer favorability rating was 80 out of 100 when rating current market conditions, down slightly from 81 for the month of March. The dealer favorability rating for the three- to five-year outlook for April is 60 out of 100, which is down slightly from 64 out of 100 for March. (Any reading above 50 is positive.)
The dealer market outlook for April represents a welcome turn from the same period a year ago, when dealer favorability numbers for the then-“current conditions” plunged to less than 30 percent as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold and the country’s outlook became uncertain.
