RVIA 2/18/2010 - Wholesale RV shipments are expected to total 215,900 units in 2010, according to Dr. Richard Curtin’s latest projection in the Spring 2010 issue of RV Roadsigns, RVIA’s quarterly forecast of RV deliveries to RV retailers.

The gain to 215,900 units would be a 30 percent rise over the 2009 year end total of 165,700 units. It is also a gain of 6 percent over Dr. Curtin’s most recent forecast delivered in Winter, 2009. Curtin attributes the rising shipment totals seen in late 2009 and early 2010 to the restocking of dealer inventories as well as an improving trend in RV sales to consumers.

“There will be some economic conditions, such as lagging job and income growth and lingering credit constraints, that could slow the pace of progress,” said Curtin.


But, the industry is firmly on the road to recovery with the expected gains in RV shipments next year to be shared by travel trailers as well as motorhomes.

Re: Coachmen Capri MicroD.R.Too bad this model or somthing comparable is no longer in Coachmen's new line up after 2008. At 13 feet and under 3000lbs, my villager could pull it, but their new line of ultra lights are too heavy. Defeats the purpose of being called an ultra light...I'll have to look for a different brand of "lite".

Re: Palomino Bronco truck camperSteve PWe recently purchase a 2011 Bronco and we are very happy with the design and comfort. We are having a little trouble getting things to fit square. We have a sheet of plywood to the truck box to help with the level. We have tried leveling with the ground,and with the truck,but our back door comes apart when opened fully, and the bathroom door does not seem to fit properly.Any helpful hints or suggestion?

2007 kodiack 27" travel trailerSteveI bought it new and the first time out the black water system had to be replaced. The floor has caved in, the frame cracked, the slide leaked and the shower door will not shut.Because we have had it over a year, Dutchman will do nothing. July 2010 just replaced the black water system for the second time. Even the design is falling off the side! It is a piece of crap that won't last the length of the loan.
Re: Aliner folding camping trailerDeb in Co.We might have the unit you are looking for. We are in the Denver area. Call 303-886-0221. You may have the unit we are looking for.
