The RV Industry Association’s August 2023 survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments ended the month with 28,071 units, a decrease of 16.9 percent compared to the 33,783 units shipped in August 2022. To date, RV shipments are down 45.0 percent with 213,421 units.

  • Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month down 14.6 percent from last August with 23,941 shipments.
  • Motorhomes finished the month down 28.3 percent compared to the same month last year with 4,130 units.
  • Park Model RVs finished August down 14.8 percent compared to the same month last year, with 380 wholesale shipments.

“In recent years, we’ve seen RV buyers get younger and more diverse. September is an exciting month for the RV industry as many manufacturers debut new units and features to appeal to these new RV buyers,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby. “With RVs available at nearly every price point and with features that allow people to work from the road and get off-grid, RVing remains one of the most affordable ways for people and families to travel and make lifelong memories.”
