2020 was a record year for the RV industry, despite a two-month shutdown during the early weeks of coronavirus.
The industry is on track to ship a half million new units to dealers in 2021.
According to RVtravel:
If you think the RV parks and campgrounds of America are especially crowded, just wait. It could get a whole lot worse.
Wholesale RV shipments are forecast to gain nearly 20 percent to 502,582 units in 2021 after totaling 423,628 units in 2020, according to the Winter 2020 RV RoadSigns prepared by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association.
The new projection sees total shipments ranging between 490,300 and 515,400 units with the most likely year-end total reaching 502,582 units by the end of next year, an 18.7 percent increase over 2020. Over the next two months, shipments are anticipated to finish within a range of 414,100 to 433,100 units with the most likely outcome being 423,638 units. That total would represent a 4.3 percent gain over the 406,700 units in 2019, overcoming a nearly two-month RV industry shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
