Black Book, in its monthly report on used RV values, noted that with spring approaching, dealers are seeing an increase in traffic on their lots and at shows.
“We have noted an uptick in volume for the second month in a row at the wholesale auctions as dealers continue to fill out their inventories,” said Eric Lawrence, principal analyst for specialty markets. “Auction prices are mixed, with motorized units adding a little more than $1,500, while towables dipped slightly. We expect towable values to firm up as the weather continues to improve.”
