The NPA RV Pre-Owned Report – July 2025

Peak Season Demand and Pricing

July is a peak month for RV travel and sales, with families on summer vacation and outdoor activities in full swing, driving additional interest in RVs and campers. Dealers should anticipate more foot traffic and inquiries. As the season progresses, demand for both new and well-maintained pre-owned RVs will likely increase. This aligns with recent market activity, as auction volumes saw a slight rise month-over-month on pre-owned inventory with RVs increasing by 3.7% and campers by 1.0%.

Dealers may have greater pricing leverage than earlier in the year when inventory was plentiful, and discounts were more common. For used units, expect prices to maintain their seasonal rise from spring lows.

Inventory Management is Essential
Optimize with pre-owned inventory. Dealers should focus on acquiring quality, showroom-ready pre-owned RVs. These units will be in higher demand as the price gap between new and pre-owned RVs is significant.

Balance New vs. Pre-Owned
Be strategic about new unit orders as to not overextend as the market slows. Focus on pre-owned models that are selling well and avoid overstocking slow-moving inventory.

Condition Matters
The condition of pre-owned inventory is key to reselling. RVs and campers from NPA come with comprehensive and well-photographed condition reports to provide dealers with an accurate and reliable description of the vehicle to bid and buy with confidence. Buyers are looking for value. A well-maintained, clean unit will sell faster and command a better price.
