A significant factor is that RV dealerships had surplus inventory from the previous model year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To make room for any new models, they first needed to clear out the older stock. Because dealers were not ordering new models until they sold their existing inventory, manufacturer production during the summer months slowed down significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Now, many dealerships have managed to reduce their older inventory, though some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/rv-search?s=true&amp;condition=1&amp;year=2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deals on last year&#8217;s models may still be found<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Manufacturers have started to regain their momentum, with production trends resembling those of 2019, a healthier year for the industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"612\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/11\/istockphoto-1263079549-612x612-1.jpg\" alt=\"Scale with Supply vs Demand\" class=\"wp-image-331819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/11\/istockphoto-1263079549-612x612-1.jpg 612w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/11\/istockphoto-1263079549-612x612-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Interestingly, both towable and motorized RVs have experienced nearly identical sales declines of around 16%, indicating a consistent market trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As interest rates have risen, affordability factors have impacted consumer interest in RV purchases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Furthermore, dealership inventory management played a significant role.
