Black Book released its monthly commentary for September.
“The values for used RVs sold at wholesale auctions were mixed last month, with motorhomes increasing and towables dropping a bit. The motorhome rise is more than likely due to the larger than normal number of late model high end coaches which crossed the block, while the slight dip in towables reflects the normal end of summer seasonal softening as the peak selling period begins to wind down,” said Eric Lawrence, principal analyst – specialty markets at Black Book.
“Taking a closer look at the markets, we see that the average selling price for motorhomes was $71,788, which is up $8,316 (13.1%) from the previous month. Towables came in at $18,084, down $342 (1.9%) from last month. One year ago the average motorhome sold for $70,356 and the average towable brought $19,311.
Auction volume was down: motorhomes dropped 6.2% while towables fell 12.1%.
The average age of motorhomes was nine years old (2016) and towables was five (2020).
