INDIANAPOLIS — The RV industry is facing a slowdown, but Kevin Renfro, who’s business puts on the Boat & RV Show in Indianapolis, says RV dealers aren’t worried.

“The RV industry’s been on a rocket ship ride the last, you know, five years or so,” said Renfro. “Yes, things have slowed down a bit, but they’re still selling lots of RVs.”

He compared it to how the boat industry took a hit back in 2008, saying that in the last couple of years the industry has started to recover and is back on the rise.

However, the RV slowdown could mean good news for you.

“RV dealers right now, have got a lot of units on their lots, more than usual,” Renfro said. “So, they are really anxious to make room for the new units to get on the lots.”

Eight out of ten RVs are made in Elkhart, Indiana, making the city the RV Capital of the World.

He says if you are looking to buy new or trade in, the Boat & RV Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds this weekend may be the place to do it. He says a lot of the RV dealers are looking to make deals to make room on their lots.

The 32nd Annual Boat & RV Show is Sept. 27 through Sept. 29. Early bird tickets go on sale this Thursday.
