The Summer 2025 edition of RV RoadSigns, the quarterly forecast prepared by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association, projects that wholesale RV shipments will slow through the remainder of the year but ultimately finish slightly above 2024 totals.
According to the report, the revised projection estimates shipments in a range between 320,400 and 353,500 units, with a median forecast of 337,000 units.
That figure would represent a slight 1 percent increase compared to the 333,700 units shipped in 2024.
“After seeing RV shipments rise 11% to 133,223 units through April, we expect shipments to moderate through the remainder of the year due to continued economic uncertainty around tariffs, borrowing costs, and constrained consumer spending,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby.
“We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the RV market given the demographic trend toward younger and more diverse buyers, increased usage of RVs by owners, and America’s continued passion for outdoor travel and camping,” Craig added.
The RV RoadSigns forecast is prepared by ITR Economics, a leading U.S. economic research firm with a 94.7 percent one-year forecast accuracy since 1985.
Produced for the RV Industry Association, the report provides manufacturers and stakeholders with key economic insights and is available to members alongside shipment summaries, annual data, and demographic profiles.
This report highlights both the short-term challenges posed by economic conditions and the steady long-term growth potential, reinforcing the outlook that RVing will remain a core part of America’s outdoor recreation and travel lifestyle.
