RV Market Industry Overview from J.D. Power

Recreational Vehicles – Q2 2022

All segments of the RV market have moved off their respective peaks, but pricing is still strong by historical standards.

Looking at individual segments, the most recent 10 years of Class A motorhome values averaged 16.0% higher pricing in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Class C motorhomes averaged 21.9% higher over the same period. In trailer segments, standard hitch units averaged 25.7% higher pricing in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Fifth-wheel units averaged 13.8% higher pricing over the same period, camping trailers averaged 29.1% higher, and truck campers averaged 19.1% higher.

All segments have crested the peak in pricing, we’ll see year-over-year parity followed by mildly negative comparisons going forward. Large-scale economic changes are causing markets for discretionary and luxury items to mature, but a tight supply should help keep pricing healthy going forward.
