Projections
Though RV shipments were down 14% the first half of 2008, it is anticipated that 2009 will remain at that level the first half of the year and grow the second half.

Dr. Richard Curtin, Director of Consumer Surveys at the University of Michigan projects that total RV shipments will go down in 2008 due to higher credit standards, failing household wealth, slower growth in real incomes, and diminished consumer confidence. Shipments are expected to be the eighth highest in the past 25 years, totaling 304,000 units.

2009 shipments are projected to be at the same level as 2008 with favorable growth in 2010.

RV rentals are expected to grow 18% in 2009.

Indicators for future growth
Population and demographics favor long term growth in the RV industry. Buyers aged 35 to 54 are the largest segment of RV owners. Every day, 11,000 Americans turn 50 years old!

By the end of 2010 38% more Americans will have reached retirement age. One in ten of these people currently own an RV.

This means a steady year in 2009 and growth beyond for campground owners!
