Next year’s RV shipments expected to rise, but not by much

The Winter 2025 edition of RV RoadSigns, the quarterly forecast prepared by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association, reaffirmed that 2026 wholesale RV shipments would reach the mid-300,000 unit level.

The new forecast projects 2025 RV shipments to end up, ranging between 334,000 and 345,400 units with a median of 339,700 units. Looking ahead to 2026, shipments are expected to range between 332,100 to 366,000 units with a median of 349,300 units. That would be a 2.8% rise over the expected 2025 year-end total.

“The new RV RoadSigns reflects where the RV industry stands today: stable, resilient, and preparing for renewed growth,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby. “We anticipate a steady start to 2026 followed by stronger momentum as conditions improve throughout the year.

“Our industry remains resilient, innovative, and aligned with consumers’ strong desire for affordable flexible experiences that bring people together.”

Earlier this year, in March, the Spring 2025 quarterly edition of RV RoadSigns forecast projected 2025 wholesale shipments to range from 333,400 units to 366,800 units, with a median of 350,100 units, slightly more than what is now expected as the year is about to end. In 2024, wholesale shipments totaled 333,700 units.

So, all in all, not much change over the last few years.
