RVWA Celebrates Successful ‘I Support the Girls’ Drive

The RV Women’s Alliance (RVWA) celebrated the end of its successful six-month donation drive in partnership with ‘I Support the Girls,’ a charity dedicated to collecting and distributing essential items for women in need. 

The charity’s mission is: “Through an international network of affiliates, I Support the Girls collects and distributes essential items, including bras, underwear and menstrual hygiene products, allowing women and folks experiencing homelessness, impoverishment or distress to stand tall with dignity.”

“This is a six-month drive, that spans across borders, providing products not only in the US but also in Canada,” said Denyse Pontius of Century Chemical, chair of RVWA’s Community Service Task Force.

Officials noted over 48,000 products were collected, and all are going to over 300 different social service organizations around Indiana.

RV Shipments Forecast Updated to Reach 350K in 2025

FAIRFAX, Va. – The Spring 2025 edition of RV RoadSigns, the quarterly forecast prepared by ITR Economics for the RV Industry Association (RVIA), projects a modest increase for 2025 with wholesale shipments ranging from 333,400 units to 366,800 units with a median of 350,100 units, according to a release from the RVIA.

“After seeing wholesale shipments finish 2024 up 7% at 333,700 units, we are cautiously optimistic that the industry will see further growth over the course of the year,’ said RVIA President and CEO Craig Kirby. “Interest rates continue to be a challenge, but there are green shoots for the market including continued consumer interest in RVing, creating a positive overall retail environment.”

Reaching the 350,100 wholesale unit projection would be a five percent increase over the 333,700 unit year-end total. Towable units are expected to total 313,300 units on 4.8% growth with Motorhome shipments gaining 5.5% to 36,800 units.
