RV Industry Faces Headwinds as Oil Prices Rise
Original source: Woodall's Campground Magazine - Daily News & Information for the Outdoor Hospitality Industry

RV manufacturer stocks declined after oil prices reached $100 per barrel. Since early 2026, shares of Winnebagoⓘ, THOR Industries, LCI Industries and Patrick Industries have fallen an average of 10%, trailing the S&P 500 by about 8 percentage points. The primary reason cited is increased refueling costs, as RV gas tanks can hold up to 100 gallons.
