In Brief

Colorado camper maker DM Vans has sold out its entire 2026 production early, despite an industry slump: wholesale shipments fell 14.4%, retail registrations dropped nearly 22% in March.

DM Vans announced the complete sell-out of all planned 2026 model year vehicles three months ahead of schedule. This comes amid a broader downturn in the RV industry: wholesale shipments declined 14.4% from the start of the year through May 2026, retail registrations fell 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 declines.

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