Surging RV Shipments to Continue Growth in 2014



The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) said the strong performance of the RV market will continue in 2014. RVIA noted that RV shipments in 2014 are expected to reach 335,500 units – a 6.1% increase from the projected total for 2013.

The rise in shipments to 316,300 units by year-end 2013 would be a 10.7% gain over the 2012 total of 285,749 and include double digit gains in conventional travel trailers and type A motorhomes.

The RVIA said the industry is poised to surpass 300,000 shipments for the first time since the recession. The expected increase in 2014 would mean five consecutive years of RV market growth.

“RV shipments are growing,” RVIA president Richard Coon said. “Consumer confidence is growing, credit is available, and RVs are visible, popular and even cool. This is a good time to be in the RV business.”
