Today’s RV World & Our Hopes | episode 190

This episode has PJ and Clint on the microphones, exploring what is happening in the RV world as of May 2024. It’s no surprise to anybody, whether in the industry or as a customer, that the RV boom of recent years has cooled drastically. RV dealers are reporting a change in buyer behavior. The demographics of RV shoppers have seemed to shift downward in age quickly. The RV manufacturers are struggling to get dealerships to purchase units for inventory, so there are products sitting at the factory lots and on dealership lots. This is a complete change in the RV world from what we knew just a short time ago.

Ep. 71 | The Downside of BIG 2020 RV Sales

The RV sales boom of 2020 sounds like it would be outstanding news for everybody who’s involved with the RV industry, but no, that really isn’t the case.
