Industry Overview
RV Market Update
The general sentiment in the RV industry is the market is still very strong. Inventory turn-over rate showed improvements over the summer, which is a indicator that the market still remains healthy.
We are anticipating the usual slowdown for the colder months that lie ahead but a stable economy, low interest rates, lower fuel prices, coupled with improved consumer confidence have dealers feeling upbeat. We will be watching inventory levels as we enter the slowdown period going from fall into winter, as this can be a major factor affecting depreciation of used values.
