US: Motorhome deliveries drop 13.5% in first four months of year

According to the RV Industry Association, US motorhome manufacturers shipped 13.5% fewer units to dealers in January–April 2026 compared to the same period last year. The association lowered its full-year delivery forecast to 300,000–328,100 units, down from 342,200 units in 2025. The decline is linked to a fifth consecutive month of falling consumer spending on recreational goods, the longest such drop since 2008. Consumer registrations of motorhomes fell nearly 22% in March and 17% in April year-over-year.

Romania enforces strict camping regulations, with fines up to 6000 lei for violations.

For caravans, parking does not permit setting up camp—extending an awning or outdoor furniture is prohibited. Tourists should check local rules in advance and avoid private land without owner consent.
