Excerpt from RVIA press release:
What a difference a year makes! This year ? our industry?s Centennial year ? is off to a strong start with much promising news indicating that the RV market is indeed on the road to recovery. This has sparked a contagious sense of optimism about our future that lies in stark contrast to the doubt and fear of early 2009.
Driving this optimism is the fact that RV wholesale shipments have been trending upward. RV shipments totaled 15,800 units for the month of January ? a 116 percent rise over the January 2009 total of 7,300 units. This marked the sixth consecutive monthly improvement for RV shipments to dealers. With the RV market strengthening, Dr. Richard Curtin of the University of Michigan's Survey of Consumers is now predicting that wholesale shipments will total 215,900 units for 2010, a 30 percent rise over 2009?s year-end total of 165,700 units.
