It’s spring. That is the time of the year almost all dealerships want to load up on inventory.
I think the point is...they have been able to load up on inventory rather than units being sold and out the door as soon as they arrive.
I suspect a lot of the "backlog" the manufacturers are hyping is filling inventory as opposed to actual sales.
Classic technique to help prop up prices. If people think there is still a shortage, they are less likely to drive a hard bargain but it's not sustainable if the lots are all full. Very quickly, dealers feel the cost of keeping inventory that's not selling.
With rapidly increasing inflation and the resultant price rises for materials, labor, fuel, and financing, there may be a new "backlog" on the horizon. Unsold units backing up at all levels of the "chain".
Unless one is awash in cash how many will plan on purchasing a new MH or TT only to end up with a high interest rate on the purchase contract, ridiculously high prices for fuel to drive/tow, and then increased costs for that space at your destination?
