With a 2019 dip in RV shipments, the numbers from this January are welcomed new. Manufacturers report a big increase, year over year, of about 29%. January of 2019 was the worst month of the year, seeing a drop of almost 40% from 2018.

Officials with the RV Industry association say the biggest increase has been in towables, which is what they were predicting for 2020. They refer to last year’s dip as “normalizing”, but say that numbers from January are a good sign that things are looking solid moving forward.

In 2019 September was the only month that saw any increase from 2018 numbers.
