Total RV shipments were up 31.2% in September to 41,509 units, according to the RV Industry Association.
Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, rose 35.3% to 37,990 units during the month.
Motorhomes shipments were down 1.0% to 3,519 units during the month.
"The demand for RVs continues to be strong heading into the fall and the industry is on track to surpass last year’s numbers, despite the six to eight week closures earlier this spring," notes RV Industry Association President Craig Kirby.
"Between the growing trend to work and learn from your RV and the incredible fall and winter RV travel options, we do not see the demand for RVs going down anytime soon. For the year, shipments stand at 300,100 units, off just 3.2% as the RV industry continues to overcome the nearly two-month shutdown this Spring due to the Covid-19 pandemic," he adds.
