Canadian RV Dealers Hope for More Travellers Amid Tariffs – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
Canadian RV dealers say they are concerned about the threat of tariffs on their industry, but are cautiously optimistic that travellers may have a renewed interest in exploring Canada in a recreational vehicle, according to a report at CBC.ca.
The vast majority of RVs in Canada are produced in the U.S., mostly in and around Elkhart, Ind.
So far, the vehicles have been spared from the United States’s 25 per cent auto tariffs and Canada’s equivalent retaliatory ones, says Shane Devenish, the president of the Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association. But, he says, dealers have been stockpiling units just in case.
“[We’ve] certainly got our fingers crossed that we won’t be hit.… It would tremendously affect our industry with these tariffs, if they come on,” Devenish told Shelley Joyce, host of CBC’s Daybreak Kamloops.
