According to the quarterly forecast prepared by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association (RVIA), RV wholesale shipments are projected to climb slightly by year-end to 337,000 units and then see continued growth to the mid-300,000 unit range in 2026.
“RV shipments are expected to continue rise through the end of this year and into next,” said RVIA President & CEO Craig Kirby, referencing the fall RV RoadSigns report. “Economic uncertainty and elevated borrowing costs continue to be headwinds, but factors for growth are improving as inflation eases, financing becomes more affordable, and restocking picks up. The path may be uneven, but the long-term fundamentals of RVing remain sound with manufacturers and dealers well positioned to meet demand with innovative, value-driven products.”
The new forecast projects 2025 RV shipments to range between 320,400 to 353,500 units with a median of 337,000 while 2026 shipments are expected to range between 332,400 to 366,100 units with a median of 349,300 units in 2026.
