Peak RV season is here. The dealers who move now are in a completely different position from the ones who wait.
Five things to do before summer gets away:
1️⃣ Replenish used inventory now. NPA's RV Summer Spectacular runs through June — pre-owned units, built-in marketing assets, and a free membership for first-time buyers. If you take RV trades on powersports or marine deals, this one is worth a look.
2️⃣ Set aging triggers and stick to them. Don't let a unit drift past 60 days without a deliberate pricing or promotion decision. Rotate listings with fresh photos every 30 to 45 days.
3️⃣ Show buyers their trade value before they walk in. Trade-in shock kills deals. A trade estimator on your website sets expectations early and captures the lead at the same time.
4️⃣ Show payments, not just prices. A buyer staring at $67,000 doesn't know if they can afford it. A buyer who sees $589/month does. That's the difference between a browser and a buyer.
5️⃣ Follow up faster. A lead sitting in your CRM for 24 hours has already talked to two other dealers. Speed is free. Losing the deal is not.

Summer doesn't wait. Neither should you. Read more https://zypr.link/rv-inventory-problem

Summer is the biggest selling season for RV dealers. But why are deals still falling apart before they ever start?
Here is what we are seeing
$3.77 billion in RV models sat unsold by late 2025, with average lot age exceeding seven months.
And underneath all of that, buyers are showing up surprised by their trade-in number.

The pandemic premium is gone and values have normalized. But most buyers have not caught up to that reality yet. They walk in expecting 2023 numbers and get 2026 numbers instead. The deal dies right there in the F&I office.

The fix is simpler than most dealers think. When a buyer can get a real trade estimate on your website before they ever walk in, the surprise is gone. They come in with adjusted expectations and a mindset to deal. Your sales team picks up a conversation that already started instead of one that is already broken.

Same goes for payment. A buyer staring at a $67,000 motorhome on your inventory page has no idea if it fits their budget. A buyer who sees $589 per month does. That shift is the difference between a browser and a buyer.

NPA just launched their RV Summer Spectacular to help dealers replenish pre-owned inventory heading into peak season. Access to hundreds of pre-owned units, built-in digital advertising packages, and a raffle giveaway for participating buyers. The inventory opportunity is there.

But inventory alone does not close deals. What happens on your website before the buyer calls is what closes deals.

The full breakdown of what the market looks like right now, what NPA's promotion means for your lot, and the five moves dealers should make before summer gets away is linked below.

You don't have to wait on OEMs to comply with the FTC's Deceptive Advertising Act. There's action you can take today.
1️⃣ Audit your pricing. Pull up every unit listing on your site. Does the price include freight and setup? If not, the NPDA's own guidance is clear, advertise the all-inclusive, out-the-door price. No exceptions.
2️⃣ Disclose what varies. Marine especially... if fees shift based on configuration, say so upfront. Spell out what's included and what isn't. The F&I office should never be where a buyer learns about a fee for the first time.
3️⃣ Train your team on the "why." Price transparency shouldn't feel like playing defense. It's a value prop. "We show you the real price upfront because we respect your time and your budget" helps close deals.

None of this requires waiting for manufacturers to restructure MSRP. It requires a website that gives buyers real numbers before they ever walk in... trade values, payment estimates, the works.
That's the difference between a buyer who shows up ready to negotiate fees and one who shows up ready to buy.
