Demand is shifting toward mobile RV repair!

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

My RV Guy is the leading mobile RV repair franchise offering on-site maintenance, inspections, and repair services. The demand for RV technicians will stay exceptionally high through 2026. This is driven by a growing, tech-integrated RV fleet. Additionally, aging technicians are retiring. There is also a rebound in industry shipments to the middle three hundred thousands unit range. The industry is experiencing a critical shortage. Trained technicians are essential for dealerships. They are also highly sought after by mobile repair services. 

2026 Demand & Industry Forecast 

  • High Demand for Skills: The need for skilled RV service technicians is persistent across the U.S. due to aging workers leaving the field and increased, complex, tech-integrated rigs requiring specialized maintenance.
  • Industry Growth: Wholesale RV shipments are projected to reach approximately 349,300 units in 2026, a 2.8% increase from 2025, signifying continued demand for service.
  • Service Bottleneck: A shortage of technicians continues to create a bottleneck, as service departments struggle to meet the demand from a growing number of users. 

Key 2026 Trends Affecting Technician Demand

  • Mobile Service Growth: Demand is shifting toward mobile RV repair, with businesses planning to increase service loads to meet high utilization, signaling a need for more technicians.
  • Demographic Shift: With Millennials and Gen Z representing over 60% of new campers, there is a higher demand for technicians capable of repairing advanced, technology-heavy rigs.
  • Repair Speed Improvements: While demand is high, industry improvements have reduced warranty repair times, allowing technicians to turn around units faster, yet the need for more, faster service remains. 

New RV Shipments Up Again in 2025!

Total RV shipments ended December 2025 with 23,220 units, a 0.3% growth rate compared to the 23,153 units shipped in December 2024. For the 2025 year, RV shipment totaled 342,220 units, a 2.5% growth rate from the prior year’s total.

Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers, ended the month down (-1.9%) from last December with 20,425 shipments. Motorhomes finished the month up 19.5% compared to the same month last year with 2,795 units. For the year, Towable RVs finished at 306,191 units, up 2.5%, and Motorhomes totaled 36,029 up 3.3%.

Park Model RVs finished December up 22.0% compared to the same month last year, with 333 wholesale shipments. Park Model RVs ended the year with 4,305 units, up 9.6% over last year’s total.

Keep the Good Times and Revenue Rolling with a My RV Guy® Franchise!

Uncategorized, , , ,

Friends,

I hope all is well. The mobile RV repair business had another record year. My RV Guy® sales were almost double of the prior year. Manufacturers have been producing poor quality units and relying on us to fix the issues via warranty repair and replacement onsite. It’s great for our business, but not so good for the RV buyer. Hopefully manufacturers will step up their quality control moving forward.

We’ve started another year of franchising our highly efficient, lucrative, and technologically advanced business model. For the right candidates, it’s the best way to start, grow and profit in the RV industry. Buying a franchise or proven business opportunity eliminates all the hard work of opening a business independently and will help you avoid much of the risk of starting a new business. Even if you currently own a mobile RV repair business, you’ll enjoy higher profits and happier customers with the resources and training available as one of our franchisees. Take control of your future, increase your income, find your path to a better lifestyle with a My RV Guy® franchise.

Best regards,

Ron Ash, Franchiser
