CRVA Reports RV Shipments Into Canada Down 9.74% YOY
Original source: RV PRO

The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA) reported that wholesale RV shipments into Canada for the first quarter of 2026 totaled 9,014 units, a 9.74% decrease from 9,987 units in the same period of 2025. Retail sales for the quarter reached 5,244 units, indicating significant dealer inventory rebuilding ahead of the spring season. The year-over-year decline is attributed to dealers accelerating purchases in Q1 2025 due to potential Canadian retaliatory tariffs against U.S. trade measures. Compared to the more typical conditions of Q1 2024, wholesale shipments in 2026 rose by 19.8%, reflecting stronger dealer confidence and consumer demand.

Campbellton, New Brunswick, will increase the number of seasonal lots at its waterfront RV park from 30–32 to a maximum of 37 next year after some campers were turned away this summer. The campground has 86 sites reserved for RVs or trailers only. Originally 18 lots were set aside for seasonal users, rising to 30–32 before the 2025 season. Council member Diane Cyr said the increase follows growing local interest, but the cap ensures sites remain for visitors and tourists.

Canadian manufacturer Kamparoo Campers offers the Trans-Continental pop-up travel trailer, which remains popular among owners for its simplicity and reliability.

Some owners have used it for over eight years, confirming its durability.
