Black Book: Towables Reflect a Return to Typical Patterns – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News

Black Book, which publishes a family of vehicle appraisal guides, has released the Black Book RV market commentary for September.

“Motorhomes declined for the second month in a row, but the thing that caught most people’s eye once again were the towables.  Rest assured, the market did not collapse, but rather merely returned to a more normal range.  Although there were several “new” 2022 and 2023 models run through the lanes again last month, it was much less than during the inventory management scenario we had seen earlier,”  reported Eric Lawrence, Black Book principal analyst – specialty markets.
