June Shipment Numbers

June Shipment numbers from the RVIA.Org web site.

As always let me start by saying that they are comparing their “growth rate”, only to 2024. 2024 was not a great year for the RV industry.  So, let’s start there.

Right now, for the year, they are at 190,705 units shipped. If that stays at the same rate for the last six months of 2025, they may finish the year around 390,000 units.  This is well below the pre-covid shipment numbers.  I use that as a comparison because covid numbers were an anomaly.

On with the June numbers:

June Travel Trailer Shipments were up 13.9% over June of 2024.  YTD compared to 2024 up 4.6%.

June Fifth Wheels were up 19.9% over June of 2024. YTD compared to 2024 up 22%.

Pop-up Campers were up 42.7% over June of 2024. YTD compared to 2024 down 1.2%.  The number of shipments for popups and truck campers is so small that a small increase can look like a huge percentage. 

Truck Campers were up 10.1% over June of 2024. YTD compared to 2024 up 21.6%.

I won’t spend a lot of time talking about Motorhomes but they were all up when compared to June of 2024.  Type A’s up 10%, B’s up 17.7%, and type C’s up 28.9%. However, for the year, they are all in negative territory.

Again, the motorhome situation is a bit like truck campers and popups. There are not a lot shipped so a modest swing results in a big percentage shift.

In conclusion, comparing 2025 numbers to 2024 doesn’t really tell an accurate story.  It would certainly be more accurate if they reported against a five year average (with Covid numbers removed).  That’s just my two cents on it.

RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby said:

“This past month new 2026 model year units started arriving on dealer lots as manufacturers and suppliers continue to innovate and improve RVs to meet the needs and preferences of today’s RVers at every price point,”

I wish the improvement part were really true.
