Industry Snapshot: Dealership Sales Focus

In our 2025 survey of RV dealers across North America, we asked: aside from unit sales, where will you focus your attention this year? The majority of dealers indicated they plan to prioritize customer pay service work (20%) , followed by insurance service work (14%) , with accessories upsells (14%) close behind. Many also highlighted warranty service work (11%) and F&I (11%) as key focuses.

The takeaway: dealers are looking for opportunities to maximize the value of every unit sale through add-ons and additional services. This trend speaks to the focus on long-term customer relationships within the RV industry, where units often serve as a lifestyle investment. By focusing on accessories, service, and parts, dealers can enhance the ownership experience, build loyalty, and create recurring revenue streams beyond the initial sale.
