RV Values Mixed as Fall Arrives
“Fall has officially arrived, and with it a mixed market for the RV industry. It’s always nice when the motorized and towable units move in the same direction, but this month they diverged. It’s also interesting to note that towables are at an all time high. It’s an unusual time of the year for that to occur, so we’ll be anxiously awaiting the auction results for the coming month see where the market is heading.”
