In Brief

Colorado-based camper van manufacturer DM Vans has sold out its entire 2026 model year production three months ahead of schedule, despite a 14.4% drop in wholesale shipments and nearly 22% decline in retail registrations.

DM Vans, based in Rifle, Colorado, announced that it has completely sold out all planned 2026 model year vehicles three months ahead of schedule. This comes amid a broad downturn in the RV industry: wholesale shipments fell 14.4% from January through May 2026, retail registrations dropped nearly 22% in March, and the RV Industry Association cut its annual forecast by 8.2%. May marked the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year decline.

DM Vans hand-builds each Lifestyle Vehicle in Rifle and sells directly to consumers. The company attributes its success to the direct-sales model and handcrafted assembly. DM Vans is now accepting deposits for the 2027 model year.
