RVIA: June RV Shipments Down 46.4% Compared to 2022
Results for the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) June 2023 survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments ended the month with 24,095 units, a decrease of 46.4% compared to the 44,942 units shipped in June 2022. To date, RV shipments are down 49.2% with 164,830 units.
The decrease was not unexpected, it should be noted, as several manufacturers scheduled shutdowns to one degree or another during parts of June and July due to softening market conditions and excess dealer inventory.
“RVing has remained a preferred way to travel for more than 44 million Americans planning RV trips this summer,” said RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby. “Our latest RV shipment forecast shows that shipments should begin to recover later this year and into 2024 as consumer confidence increases and the ongoing interest in camping and RVing turns into increased RV sales.”
Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month down 48.3% from last June with 20,670 shipments. Motorhomes finished the month down 30.8% compared to the same month last year with 3,425 units.
Park Model RVs finished June up 7.7% compared to the same month last year, with 391 wholesale shipments.
