Prices for used RVs rose in Camping World RV sales 2025, according to a company report. It gives buyers more options, though a bit of caution is still warranted.

Used and new prices reflected in Camping World RV sales 2025
The average price for Camping World’s used RVs dipped just 0.9%, so deals are available, though not dramatic. For those considering a trade-in, resale values remain fairly steady, but buyers should weigh potential long-term costs and reliability as part of their decision.
New RV sales were modestly higher, with roughly 20,300 units sold, up 1.7% from last year. Revenue from new vehicles fell 7%, and the average selling price dropped 8.6%. All this seems to indicate that buyers are leaning toward more affordable models or negotiating harder. New RV inventory rose 5.8%, providing additional options for shoppers.
While more inventory is generally positive, availability doesn’t automatically guarantee a smooth ownership experience, so realistic expectations remain important.
Expansion, too, off the sales lot
Camping World’s service, parts, and aftermarket offerings continue to expand. While not written into Camping World’s report, such service offerings can help long-term owners, as an established network may improve access to maintenance and repairs. As many of our readers will testify, experiences vary. And even with a wide service network, some owners report delays or inconsistent outcomes.
Margins on new RVs are slightly tighter, and affordability is still a consideration, particularly with rising interest rates, fuel costs, and insurance. Buyers will want to carefully plan their budget and consider the total cost of ownership, not just the sticker price. Camping World is known for pushing extended financing terms that can outlast the RV itself.
Bottom line
For those shopping for an RV, used models currently offer a strong selection and reasonably stable pricing, while new models may provide opportunities for deals or incentives. Overall, Camping World RV sales 2025 indicate a healthy market with plenty of choices, but buyers familiar with the company may approach with measured expectations about service, reliability, and long-term costs. Being informed, comparing options, and budgeting carefully remain key to a successful purchase.

“…affordability is still a consideration, particularly with rising interest rates, fuel costs, and insurance.”
The U.S. avg gas price was around $3.03 a year ago, now $2.92. It was $3.37 in Oct ’23. It has bounced around the $3/gal mark for the last year…certainly no rising trend overall.
Interest rates rising? Interest rates are falling.
I’ll give you insurance, although my RV insurance on my ’21 Newmar, at the same coverage levels, fell with my upcoming renewal next month. But in general, insurance is up.
