NPA: Used RV Prices Ease Seasonally

RV PRO ENG

National Powersport Auctions (NPA) reported a seasonal softening in wholesale prices for used RVs and campers as the market moves into its traditional fall cooldown. Average wholesale prices in September remain 17% above year-ago levels, one of the strongest year-over-year gains across all vehicle categories. NPA advises dealers to manage inventory carefully, with timely write-downs and expedited liquidation as prices are expected to decline further into winter.
