RVIA: Wholesale Shipments Down 15.6% Through November

Results for the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) November 2022 survey of manufacturers determined that total RV shipments ended the month with 24,445 units, a decrease of (-50.4%) compared to the record 49,285 units shipped in November 2021.

Through November, RV shipments are down (-15.6%) compared to the same point last year with 472,691 wholesale shipments.

“RV shipments are continuing to normalize off of last year’s record numbers and 2022 is looking to be the third highest year for RV shipments, in spite of challenging macroeconomic factors impacting the industry and economy at large,” said RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby. “The industry remains focused on serving our existing customers, many who have entered the RV lifestyle for the first time in the past few years and expanding the pool of consumers interested in purchasing a new RV in the coming years.”

Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month down (-53.5%) against last November with 20,502 shipments. Motorhomes finished the month down (-24.7%) compared to the same month last year with 3,943 units.
