Priority RV Network (PRVN), an association of independent dealers, is kicking off 2025 with major momentum, according to a release, announcing the addition of 14 new dealer rooftops, the launch of several strategic vendor partnerships, and continued expansion of its national service footprint — further strengthening its position as the “nation’s premier RV dealer network.”
Since January, PRVN welcomed three new dealer groups:
Pete’s RV (4 locations)
Primeaux RV (2 locations)
Clear Creek RV (1 location)
We’ve also expanded its national footprint with:
2 additional RV Country locations
4 more Campers Inn locations
1 new addition for Bell Campers of Tulsa
PRVN Executive Director Nicole Schantz
PRVN now offers National Priority Service at 175 dealer locations across the country. PRVN is well-positioned for continued growth, the release continued, both through expansion into new markets and through deepening relationships with our current dealer and vendor partners.
In addition to its growing dealer network, PRVN continues to strengthen its best-in-class, dealer-approved partner offerings. Recent additions — including Lands’ End, Land ‘N’ Sea, Impel, Pre Pair, Lahzo, Midstates Printing and Airxcel — are designed to help dealers save time and money, simplify decision-making and access exclusive network programs and savings.
These partnerships are built not only to benefit PRVN’s dealers, but also to support the group’s vendor partners through meaningful engagement and increased visibility across the network.
“With PRVN’s 2025 Annual Meeting just weeks away – April 15-17, 2025, at the M Resort in Henderson, Nev. – we’re proud to report record-breaking attendance from both dealers and vendor partners. The event is already at capacity — proof that the energy and impact of PRVN has never been stronger,” stated PRVN Executive Director Nicole Schantz.
Black Book, which publishes a family of vehicle appraisal guides, has released the Black Book RV market commentary for April.
“The average values for Motorhomes and Towables sold at auction were mixed once again last month, but in the opposite way from which they were the month before, with Motorhomes decreasing while Towables finally managed an increase, snapping a three-month losing streak,” notes Eric Lawrence, principal automotive analyst, specialty vehicles. “Dealers we have spoken to have told us they are stocking up on Towables for the expected rush of Spring buyers.”

Towables came in at $17,660, up $1,745 (10.9%) from last month. One year ago the average motorhome sold for $55,203 and the average towable brought $18,167.
Auction volume was up significantly: motorhomes increased 28.4% while towables rose 16.4%.
The average age of motorhomes was ten years old (2015) and towables was five (2020).
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Highlighted by the unveiling of the all-new Freedom Aire compact Class C, Newmar, Corp. a Nappanee, Ind.-based manufacturer of motorized RVs, on Wednesday (March 26), concluded its annual two-day dealer show held at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo.
As part of the 2026 model year lineup, dealers also got their first glimpse of the all-new Summit Aire, said to be a jewel of the company’s completely reimagined Super C coach lineup, according to a release. Additionally, two new interior design expressions, Regal and Refined, were unveiled as part of the King Aire lifecycle updates for 2026.
“At the heart of these innovations is a deep understanding of and passion for the Newmar consumer,” said Newmar President Casey Tubman. “We’ve spent the last couple years connecting with Newmar owners as well as new and long-time RVers and the messages are clear: consumers are hungry for smaller footprints that enable more freedom and maneuverability, without having to compromise on the craftsmanship, quality and service they’ve come to expect from Newmar. The new Freedom Aire Compact C responds to this demand. Meanwhile, the Super C market is growing and Newmar has revamped our Super C line-up in response, launching the new Summit Aire Super C and completely reimagining the Supreme Aire SE and XT on the Cascadia chassis and the Super Star SE and XT models.”
For dealers, the show was an opportunity to see where the future of the luxury RV market is headed, the release continued.
“Newmar has a long legacy as a builder of high-quality, desirable motor coaches, and the new line-up carries on that tradition proudly while showing consumers what’s possible in an RV,” said Ryan Kelly of Beaver Coach Sales. “The 2026 models address the needs of a variety of RVers and are packed with features that will really elevate owner’s time spent outside. I’m excited to get the coaches on our lot to showcase for our customers.”
Model Year 2026 Highlights
Newmar VP Sales Matt Ellinger goes over the highlights of the Freedom Aire prototype.
Freedom Aire: Consumers who refuse to compromise on quality while seeking greater freedom will revel in Newmar’s first ever compact class C coach built on a Mercedes-Benz 4500 chassis, as it redefines what is possible in the compact luxury space. The Freedom Aire model introduces an industry-first convertible layout, seamlessly transitioning from a functional dinette by day to a king-sized Murphy bed for restful sleep at night. Every inch of the coach is optimized to enhance livability and offers six distinctive exterior finishes. The optional solar package includes roof-mounted panels as well as Newmar’s first-ever external and movable solar panel option, increasing solar capacity by up to three times. This advancement empowers owners to venture further off-grid with greater independence.
Super Star: Part of the reimagined Super C lineup, the 2026 Super Star now comes with two models, SE and XT. The Super Star’s distinctive Super C architecture offers unique advantages for practical travelers. With its front engine design, consumers can enjoy easier engine access for maintenance and a driving position that puts them in control. Versatile floor plans maximize interior space while carefully selected design options reflect a sensible approach to luxury travel.
Supreme Aire: Now built on a Freightliner Cascadia chassis, when adventure calls beyond conventional routes, the commercial-grade engineering beneath the Supreme Aire’s elegant exterior delivers. Tow up to 30,000 pounds of additional toys or equipment with ease, host gatherings that impress friends, and venture confidently into destinations that would challenge lesser coaches. Available as both the SE and XT.
Summit Aire: The all-new Summit Aire features a Freightliner Cascadia foundation and is where raw power intersects with refined living. Owners can tackle any road condition while the industry exclusive full air-ride cab system ensures they arrive at their destination ready to enjoy the moment rather than recover from the journey. And with a remarkable 30,000 towing capacity they can bring their favorite toys along for the ride! The Summit Aire is available in two 45’ floorplans, including a bunk model perfect for families to unwind in at the end of each adventure-filled day, and include the option to lean into another Newmar first, Artisan Series custom paint process.
King Aire: For 2026 the King Aire has undergone a lifecycle update, introducing two interior design expressions. Regal, is ideal for those who desire opulent and expressive interiors, while Refined is a sophisticated take on quiet luxury, with an artful blend of natural wood tones, clean lines and subtle textures that create warmth.
Newmar’s new optional Artisan Series custom paint process, available on King Aire, Essex, and London Aire Class A motorcoaches and the Summit Aire and 45’ Supreme Aire Super C coaches, reflects the overwhelming desire by owners to own a truly customized coach that reflects their unique taste. Customers can select from an exclusive catalog of Artisan Series graphics that once ordered, will be archived forever, making their coach truly a 1 of 1.
Finally, as part of the RV manufacturer’s arrangement with ATC Trailers, Newmar owners looking for additional ways to personalize their coach now can ensure a seamless expression that takes the paint and graphics available on their coach and extend them all the way to their trailer for a premium look all delivered with Newmar’s renowned Masterpiece Finish paint. Available as part of the Artisan Series custom paint process as well.

CEO Commentary
“Winnebago Industries continues to demonstrate solid performance in our strategic markets, leveraging product differentiation and sharper affordability options to maintain healthy market share in our core premium and mid-range RV segments,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Happe. “We’re expanding our RV brand portfolio with new products across diverse price points, while maintaining our commitment to profitability. This strategic approach allows us to capitalize on market opportunities and positions us for sustainable financial performance as the market recovers. Our most recent example of this is the introduction of Grand Design’s Class C Lineage Series M, which has been enthusiastically received in the marketplace and highlights the demand for the brand’s innovative motorized RVs. With the latest launch of our new Lineage Class Super C motorhome, the Lineage brand is on a trajectory to achieve its $100 million-plus revenue target in fiscal 2025.”
“In our Marine segment, Barletta continues to grow its share of the U.S. aluminum pontoon market and outperform the category.” Happe said. “For the 12-month period ended February 28, 2025, Barletta achieved a market share of 9.5%, an improvement of 140 basis points over the prior-year period and placing Barletta as the number three player in aluminum pontoons.”
“Our strong financial position provides flexibility to invest in growth opportunities while maintaining disciplined fiscal management,” Happe said. “During the second quarter, we completed a cash tender offer to repurchase $100 million of our 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028, and we also repurchased $20 million of our stock. Reducing our higher-cost debt and returning value to shareholders, while continuing to focus on internal investments, underscores our commitment to executing a diverse capital allocation strategy and deliver resiliency through the cycle.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Net revenues were $620.2 million, a decrease of 11.8% compared to $703.6 million in the second quarter of last year, driven by a reduction in average selling price per unit related to product mix, partially offset by targeted price increases. Volume growth in the Towable RV and Marine segments was offset by volume reductions in the Motorhome RV segment, as dealers continue their efforts to reduce field inventories in this segment in an effort to combat higher interest rates.
Gross profit was $83.1 million, a decrease of 21.1% compared to $105.3 million in the second quarter of last year. Gross profit margin decreased 160 basis points in the quarter to 13.4% as a result of deleverage associated with product mix, partially offset by operational efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $69.7 million, an increase of 8.6% compared to $64.2 million in the second quarter of last year, primarily due to the mix of incentive-based compensation plans relative to performance across our businesses, and investments to support Grand Design motorized growth and also growth in Barletta.
Operating income was $7.8 million, a decrease of 78.0% compared to $35.4 million in the second quarter of last year.
Net loss was $0.4 million, compared to net loss of $12.7 million in the second quarter of last year. Reported net loss per diluted share was $0.02, compared to reported net loss per share of $0.43 in the second quarter of last year. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 include a charge of $32.7 million, or $1.12 per share, attributable to the loss on repurchase of a significant portion of the Company’s 2025 convertible senior notes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.19(3), a decrease of 79.6% compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.93(3) in the second quarter of last year.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $22.8 million, a decrease of 54.2%, compared to $49.8 million in the second quarter of last year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 1, 2025, the Company had total outstanding debt of $598.7 million ($609.3 million of debt, net of debt issuance costs of $10.6 million) and working capital of $438.4 million. Cash flow used in operations was $27.2 million in the fiscal 2025 second quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company successfully completed its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase $100 million of its 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2028.
Outlook
Based on its second quarter 2025 results, and its outlook for the balance of the year, the Company is updating its fiscal 2025 outlook for sales of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, and for reported earnings per diluted share of $2.10 to $3.10 and adjusted earnings per share of $2.75 to $3.75(4). The Company’s outlook takes into account prevailing trends in the RV and marine sectors, including competitive dynamics, shifts in consumer preferences, dealer ordering patterns, and key macroeconomic factors, including changes to trade practices and other policies, that may influence overall demand.
“Our full-year financial outlook for fiscal 2025 is updated to take into consideration the very dynamic environment and the macro economic and sector challenges that our industry has been presented. Among these are stubborn interest rates, inconsistent consumer sentiment, and dealers that continue to push inventory levels lower, particularly in the Motorhome RV and Marine segments”, Happe said. “As we have in the past, we will continue to take a prudent approach to pacing our production and output with dealer demand. While these near-term challenges exist, we remain confident in the long-term demand landscape and the strong interest in the outdoor lifestyle that our consumers demonstrate. Our long-term ambitions and investment theses reflect confidence in the RV and marine markets’ underlying resilience as a growing number of consumers embrace the benefits of outdoor recreation. Our strong balance sheet and robust cash flows afford us the flexibility to continue investing in product innovation to drive organic growth while maintaining our commitment to direct shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases.”
Happe continued, “While the impact of tariffs remains an active conversation with our vendors, including collaborative discussions on how best to mitigate their impact, we have included our current estimate of the net impact of tariffs in the range provided for our fiscal year 2025 outlook. This net impact includes anticipated pricing actions that may be required to offset the estimated inflationary pressures on our input costs.”

Let’s be honest. Most us of that picture Disney World envision it with a big open sky shining down on a whole lot of concrete, according to an article at RV Trade.
(And, of course, all the imaginative wonders of a whole new world in between.) But what you might not know is that there is an RV-specific part of this world. And it’s wonderful. At Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Resort, you can relax under the shade of a cypress tree and immerse yourself in a lush wilderness teaming with wildlife.
Here, you can experience a unique brand of Disney culture — one specifically tailored to campers. And one reason the Fort Wilderness Resort is so great for RVers is that Disney has been doing this for a long time. Opening just one month after the Magic Kingdom in 1971, the Fort Wilderness Resort is as nearly as timeless and historic as Disney World itself.
So, if you’re thinking about a trip to Disney, rest assured: Both you and your rig are in for one magic RV ride.
