In the Q2 2021 Recreational Vehicle (RV) Market Insights, analysts from J.D. Power Specialty Valuation Services say summer is a seller’s market for dealers with used motorhomes, trailers or campers. The supply and demand relationship is expected to continue into the fourth quarter of 2021.
“Summer is the peak season for vacations and RV travel is still extremely popular,” said Lenny Sims, vice president business development and strategy at J.D. Power Specialty Valuation Services. “Anyone with a used vehicle to sell should be able to do so quickly and at a substantial price. Smaller vehicles are commanding amazing prices, with camping trailers averaging 34.7% more revenue in the first half of 2021 than a year ago and truck campers are 30% higher.”
Major findings in the free quarterly report note:
- Used values across all RV categories continued to increase in the first half of 2021.
