National Power Sports Auction (NPA) released its April 2026 RV Pre-Owned report, showing modest, steady growth in the used RV wholesale market.
NPA Marketing Director Kathy Latus said wholesale values are expected to trend upward as retail demand builds heading into April.
The report found RV average wholesale prices up 16% from the average prices of the previous three months.
“NPA continues to see steady growth in its RV segment, with expanding inventory levels and increased dealer participation,” Latus said. “To support this demand, the company has added a new Denton, Texas facility, further strengthening its presence in a key market.”
The new location is expected to be operational in 2027 and will support RV and marine product lines.
The report indicates sentiment remains positive, with many dealers reporting stronger conditions than this time last year.
The report states that the right product mix will be critical to driving profitability. The report said demand for RVs with modern features, such as energy-efficient appliances and solar integration, is expected to grow.
“Stocking affordable pre-owned towable and motorized units can help accelerate turnover,” the report states, “while disciplined management of aging inventory protects margins.”
The report says dealers who prioritize high-quality pre-owned acquisitions over peak-season demand will be best positioned.
“Pricing must keep pace with a shifting market,” the report states.
NPA has 15 auctions scheduled in April, from April 3-24.
