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.

Key Aspects of the My RV Guy Franchise:

  • Business Model: Owner-operated, focused on providing high-quality, honest service.
  • Services: Covers a wide range of needs, including repairs, maintenance, and insurance estimates.

Friends,

Over the past year I’ve been excited by your interest in owning your own My RV Guy® franchise. Many have different reasons for considering a My RV Guy mobile RV services business. Some have commented they “love the business model’, others are looking to get into mobile repair, and there are more who are just getting burnt out by what they are currently doing. My first Franchisee purchased a My RV Guy franchise to supplement his restaurant trailer business. There is a bit of lag time between building one and selling one, so adding a My RV Guy franchise was just what he needed to keep the money flowing in-between.

I’m reminded of my first job interview with the owner of a large RV dealership years ago. It took a lot of persistence just to get that interview, but there I was. He asked me about money; it was a sales position based mainly on commission. I responded, “Honestly, I’m more concerned about environment than money” knowing that if I’m in the right environment I can’t help but to succeed. I became a top producer and saved enough money to open my first My RV Guy location and have never looked back.

In business we do what we can today, knowing the next step will be revealed to us at the right time. That is how I built my first successful business thirty-four years ago. You see, as we go along new opportunities are revealed to us. We don’t need to see every mile ahead of us to get to our destination. It’s like driving down an unlit highway. Although we can only see about three-hundred feet in front of us, we can travel thousands of miles.

My RV Guy® is a lucrative business with a fantastic lifestyle. Let me know when you are ready. I’d love to have you onboard!

Happy New Year,

Ron Ash aka My RV Guy®
