Believe what you wish, but the data is the official release from the RV Industry Association.

So I went and looked at the last 4 years of RVIA shipment releases.
2017 was the highest on record for units shipped.
2018 was the second highest for units shipped.
From 2016 through 2019 the average number of units shipped per year was 456,258.
Total units shipped over the last 4 years was 1,825,032. Now I'm sure a few of them have been destroyed in crashes or fires in the last 4 years but other than that you could pretty much say they are all still in use. You can also figure that most of those RV buyers in the last 4 years were not new to camping. Meaning their used units are also out there in the market. Let's assume another 1,000,000 units.
Another Google search came up with approximately 14,600 RV campgrounds in the US (Private and State Park).
Some more math. 2.8 million units (probably a low number) divided by 14,600 RV Campgrounds = roughly 192 RV's per campground.

I think we could stand a few years with fewer RV's being made.
