JD Power’s latest RV Market Industry Overview for the second quarter of 2022 found all segments posting increased retail values from the same period a year earlier. However, JD power analysts say all segments “have crested the peak in pricing.”

“We will see year-over-year parity, followed by mildly negative comparisons going forward,” JD Power said.

Among travel trailers, the report found retail prices averaged 25.7% more in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period of 2021. Fifth-wheel units averaged 13.8% higher pricing over the same period.

Among Type A motorhomes, the report found retail prices averaged 16% higher in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period of 2021. Type C motorhomes were 21.9% higher over the same period.

“Large-scale economic changes are causing markets for discretionary and luxury items to mature,” JD Power said, “but a tight supply should help keep pricing healthy going forward.”
