RV Industry Association Reports Third Best Shipments on Record

People of all ages, especially the younger set, are discovering the rewards of spending time in the great outdoors

Results for the RV Industry Association’s December 2022 survey of manufacturers determined the total shipments for 2022 ended with 493,268 shipments, the third best year on record.

“Coming off of the all-time high in 2021, the RV industry continued to post strong shipments through the first half of 2022,” said RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby. “As expected, we saw shipment numbers normalize off of those record highs in the second half of the year as the industry returned to production numbers seen pre-COVID.”

Total RV shipments for 2022 decreased (-17.8%) from the all-time record of 600,240 set in 2021. Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended 2022 down (-20.1%) against 2021 with 434,858 wholesale shipments. Motorhomes finished the year up 3.9% compared to 2021 with 58,410 units. Park Model RVs finished the year up 20.4% compared to 2021 with 4,723 units shipped.

“Our industry builds a product that allows people to prioritize not only spending time with family and friends but also experiencing the many physical and mental health benefits of being in the great outdoors. With so many younger and more diverse buyers flocking to RV travel in the past few years, the long-term future of the RV industry remains bright,” continued Kirby.
