Results for the RV Industry Association’s July 2025 survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments ended the month with 22,633 units, a (-6.1%) growth rate compared to the 24,116 units shipped in July 2024. To date, RV shipments are up 5.2% with 213,338 units.
RVIA shipment reports provide essential insights for developers and investors to determine future need for RV storage. Industry research indicates a huge gap between the number of Americans owning RVs and the number of secure spaces to store them. In fact, some experts have figured that five times the current supply is needed to meet demand.
“Calculations show that the equivalent of 70 facilities would need to be built monthly throughout the U.S. to catch up to the number of RVs and boats entering the market,” said Troy Bix, Founder of Toy Storage Nation. “Yet, data show that not even 70 facilities are being built in the entire year.”
Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month down (-8.7%) from last July with 19,686 shipments, but motorhomes finished the month up 15.3% compared to the same month last year with 2,947 units. Park Model RVs were up 5.7% compared to July 2024, with 316 wholesale shipments.
“This summer, 44-million Americans are prioritizing time outdoors with family and friends as they made RVing their vacation of choice,” said RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby. “And our latest research shows RVing will remain popular as we head into fall with affordability topping the list of reasons people plan to go on an RV adventure.”
