Black Book: Wholesale RV Values Rise as Summer Wanes – 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.
“The average values for Motorhomes and Towables sold at auction rose slightly last month. Once again, the increase in Motorhomes was driven by an unusually high percentage of expensive Class As crossing the block. The towable increase is likely due to their average age decreasing slightly. As more new 2025 models arrive on dealer lots we expect used values to trend downward as we head into Fall,” reported Eric Lawrence, Black Book principal analyst – specialty markets.
“Taking a closer look at the markets, we see that the average selling price for motorized units was $70,356, which is up $1,600 (2.3%) from the previous month. Towables came in at $19,311, up $254 (1.3%) from last month. One year ago the average motorhome sold for $65,316 and the average towable unit brought $21,750.”
Auction volume was down: motorhomes decreased 10.2% while towables dropped 10.1%.
The average age of motorhomes was eight years old (2016) and towables was five (2019).
