The US RV market continues to face headwinds. According to the RVIA report, manufacturers shipped 32,162 RVs in March 2026 — 13.9% fewer than a year earlier. The first-quarter decline was 12.1% (86,051 vs. 97,848 units).

- Towable RVs: down 16.2% (28,484 units)
- Motorhomes: up 9.3% (3,678 units)
- Park models: up 33.6% (489 units)
Earlier, in February 2026, retail sales of new RVs fell 24.12% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the used RV market grew 1.57%. The largest declines were in Class A (-44.18%) and Class C (-38.55%), while Class B saw a 5.43% increase. Regional data shows wide disparities: sales in Greenwood (South Carolina) surged 233.33%, while in Mason City (Iowa) they dropped 85.71%.
Industry observers note that dealers are losing sales due to a lack of buyer behavior analysis, leading to customer leakage from the sales funnel.
