MOTORHOMES
While towable RVs held their own in 2025, it’ s a bleaker picture for motorised RVs – motorhomes. In fact, Australian manufacturers built only 910 vehicles in 2025, a sharp decrease on the previous year of 39.6 per cent or 597 fewer units.
Most notably was the decline in campervan production with only 96 campervans sold. 2024 was a solid year for campervans, somewhat attributable to rental fleet restocking as international tourism recovered from covid, and the industry suspects an easing of that demand is somewhat responsible for those changed figures.
Motorhomes from 7-9m in length were the dominant sellers in this category but the most significant change occurred in the 6-7m range, with production falling 55 per cent to 229 units following a 2024 increase of 38 per cent.
Motorhomes over 9m in length experienced the sharpest decline, falling 81 per cent to just 13 units for the year.
The beauty of our lifestyle is that it ' s open to everyone, regardless of their station in life, and it doesn ' t have to cost a fortune.( Pic: Justin and Carissa Morgan.)
