Wholesale RV shipments are expected to remain relatively flat in 2025 compared to the previous year, according to the Summer 2025 edition of RV RoadSigns, a quarterly forecast published by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association (RVIA).
The report projects a median total of 337,000 units shipped by year’s end—just a 1% increase over the 333,700 units recorded in 2024.
The updated forecast outlines a shipment range between 320,400 and 353,500 units.
Despite a strong start with an 11% increase in shipments through April—totaling 133,223 units—the industry is preparing for a moderate slowdown due to ongoing economic challenges.
“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,” RVIA President and CEO Craig Kirby explained.
The data offers critical insight for campground owners, RV dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, and investors navigating a market shaped by consumer behavior and economic conditions.
Kirby also emphasized the long-term strength of the RV market, noting that consumer demographics and behavioral trends continue to support growth.
“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,” he said in a News and Insights report of RVIA on June 2.
Industry stakeholders will have an opportunity to explore the forecast in greater detail during an upcoming webinar hosted by ITR Economics. The event is scheduled for Thursday, June 12 at 1 p.m. Eastern.
