The RV Industry Association convened a meeting of its Model Year Task Force to evaluate the recommended best practice on RV model year changeover that its Board of Directors approved in June of 2020.  This voluntary, recommended best practice was adopted to improve the RV buying experience by alleviating a common source of confusion cited by consumers when purchasing RVs.
 
Upon meeting, the Task Force reaffirmed its endorsement of the best practice recommendation for RV manufacturers to make their annual model year and major product design changes between July 1 to August 31 each year.
  
After maintaining a respectable pace of growth through much of 2022, Canada's economy—especially the domestic economy—appears to have lost some momentum in recent months. Heading into 2023, the outlook for the Canadian consumer in particular suggests a further downshift in growth may be forthcoming.
 
Amid rapid inflation, real household disposable incomes are falling, which should restrain consumer spending. Rising interest rates should also weigh on the housing sector and broader consumer activity.
  
The RV Women’s Alliance(RVWA), a professional organization of women and men with a mission to elevate, educate and promote women in the RV Industry, is ready to expand its membership in Canada.
