The RV Industry Association’s monthly manufacturers’ survey of wholesale RV shipments found that 2022 is starting out just the way 2021 ended: by setting records. Last year saw month after month of record-setting shipments, finally culminating in a total of 600,240 wholesale shipments, an all-time record.
In January, manufacturers reported a total of 53,290 units shipped, an increase of 16 percent compared with the 45,930 units shipped during January 2021. The 53,290 units was also an all-time January record.
“Our latest report shows RV manufacturers and suppliers delivered another strong month of RV shipments and are prepared to meet consumer demand as we head into another excellent year for the RV industry,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby. “With spring just around the corner, consumers are looking to RVs as an ideal way to take advantage of the mental and physical health benefits of living an active outdoor lifestyle and our manufacturers and suppliers are prepared to meet this ongoing demand for RVs.”
Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month up 17.3 percent against last January with 48,565 wholesale shipments. Motorhomes finished the month up 4.6 percent compared to the same month last year with 4,725 units.
Park Model RVs ended the month up 0.3 percent compared to January 2021 with 332 wholesale shipments.
