RVIA said its research last year found the median age of new RV buyers fell to 32. New RV buyers are more diverse than ever before, RVIA said. To serve RVers’ needs, the RV industry has grown to be the No. 1 contributor to the conventional outdoor recreation economy, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
RVIA’s advocacy team has focused on issues such as campground modernization and expansion, as well as addressing tax and trade issues impacting companies in the industry. RVTI has recruited over 2,200 new RV techs into the field. Currently, 15,000 individuals are enrolled in some type of technician training with 5,000 newly certified technicians – the largest number of certified techs in the RV industry’s history.
This year, RVIA celebrates its 50th anniversary.
“As always, we appreciate the support and involvement of our members in making this industry so dynamic and robust, and thank them for their ongoing contributions,” RVIA said. “Our past success has come from the entire industry uniting and working together to overcome obstacles – and our future successes will as well.”
