Original source: RV PRO

The RV Industry Association (RVIA) released the RVs Move America study, showing the RV sector produces $159 billion in total annual economic output. The industry supports 643,238 jobs, $46.4 billion in wages, and $19.6 billion in tax revenue. Growth from $140 billion in 2022 is driven by supply chain expansion and inflation, with 8.1 million RV-owning households nationwide.
