The Winter 2025 edition of RV RoadSigns, produced quarterly by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association (RVIA), reaffirms expectations for a gradual rebound in wholesale RV shipments over the next two years.
The report projects that 2026 volumes will reach the mid-300,000 range while year-end 2025 estimates have been adjusted upward to nearly 340,000 units.
The updated outlook forecasts 2025 shipments between 334,000 and 345,400 units, with a median of 339,700 units.
Looking ahead to 2026, the RoadSigns forecast calls for shipments ranging from 332,100 to 366,000 units. The median projection of 349,300 units would reflect a 2.8% increase over the expected 2025 year-end total.
According to a News and Insights report of RVIA, President and CEO Craig Kirby said the latest data reflects a sector preparing for renewed momentum.
“The new RV RoadSigns reflect where the RV industry stands today: stable, resilient, and preparing for renewed growth,” Kirby said.
In the report, Kirby noted that the industry anticipates a measured start to 2026, with conditions expected to build positively over the course of the year. He emphasized that manufacturers and suppliers continue adapting to evolving consumer expectations.
“We anticipate a steady start to 2026 followed by stronger momentum as conditions improve throughout the year,” Kirby said in the announcement. “Our industry remains resilient, innovative, and aligned with consumers’ strong desire for affordable flexible experiences that bring people together.”
