How is the market shaping up for used and new RV's this winter?

Has anyone noticed any increase in availability or willingness to sell for less than top dollar?

I recently started shopping for a Class B and there seem to be some that have sat unsold for months and some have reduced asking prices.

It appears you have found some for less than top dollar, start shootin offers.
I thought you were after a TC though, just recently?

That certainly didn't help.

3/100ths of 1% of the campers produced in 2021 is not a serious reduction in available inventory. But you're correct, it didn't help.
One can only hope the market is stupid high again next year, or I hope at least. If it is I be makin some $ on our truck and camper?

That said, I doubt the market will be as hot next year.
Intuitively, one would think that buying a RV now, in the winter may yield the best deal, though. Lot's of campers sitting covered in snow now, or will be soon!

ALL the lots in Tennessee are FULL

There is no shortage in this area.

Covid had a tremendous impact on the RV market creating supply chain issues and higher demand due to issues with conventional travel. A perfect storm really where folks could sell their Rv's for much more than they paid. Winter is always a soft market for RV's and supply is finally catching up and demand is winding down. I think what we will see in the coming year is a saturation of RV's on the market and significant decrease in demand yielding lower prices. But locally I am still seeing dealers with little inventory and on line inventory notes - "available to order".
