I have no idea what the industry is going. But large fifth wheels are a small part of the RV industry where we live. No idea anywhere else. Most people want to go weekend camping at the local lakes where we live. Most common truck is an F150 or equivalent.
Probably sticking the acronym "IMO" in front of statements like "Fifth wheels are not near as common as they used to be with their biggest audience still being old boomers. That market will continually decline over the next ten years." would be a good idea.
That would let everyone know that it's not a fact-based statement, but only your opinion.
Not hard to find production of RV's is down.
That doesn't even take into account that RV "sales" posted by the industry are the "sales" made to the dealers where they then sit on the lot waiting for a true "sale" to an actual consumer.
