Wholesale RV Values Continue To Decline
The average values for motorhomes and towables sold at auction fell once again last month, even if just slightly.
“This is the second consecutive month of decreases across the board, which more than likely indicates the beginnings of a return to normal seasonal patterns,” says Eric Lawrence, principal analyst – specialty markets, Black Book. “As more new 2025 models continue to arrive on dealer’s lots, we expect used values to trend downward as we head into colder weather.”
The average selling price for motorized units was $65,973, which is down $2,226 (3.4%) from the previous month. Towables came in at $18,736, down $312 (1.6%) from last month. One year ago the average motorhome sold for $61,575 and the average towable unit brought $20,138.
Auction volume was mixed: Motorhomes increased 18.2%, while towables decreased 0.9%.
The average age of motorhomes was eight years old (2016) and towables was five (2019).
