Retail Sales in 2023 Totaled 376,673 Units
The year 2023 ended with 15,981 RVs sold by U.S. and Canadian dealers in December to bring the full-year 2023 total to 376,673 units, according to market research firm Statistical Surveys Inc.
The 376,673 RVs sold to North American consumers compares with 313,174 units shipped from factories to dealerships, including 21,522 RVs shipped last December. As a result, RV dealer inventories shrunk by 43,499 units when the full year 2023 is compared with 2022.
Except for April, retail registrations in 2023 were lower when compared with every corresponding month in 2020 through 2022. April 2020 was the month when many RV dealerships were closed due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, which caused RV retail sales to fall to only 26,640 units.
