Trading Houses For RV’s
A variety of trends are coming together to push the RV industry to new heights. Production of motor homes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels has increased and may set new records in 2016 and beyond. For auto dealerships and related companies, this means a greater need for logistics and handling tools like a car pusher and trailer mover on site.
The boom in RV sales has several key factors:
- Younger generations are seeking outdoor recreation, and many are choosing agile, mobile lifestyles instead of settling down in one place.
- Aging Baby Boomers continue to downsize and hit the road. Older Americans are trading in houses for RVs to tour the country and visit grandchildren.
- Technology has innovated the RV market with new features that appeal to both dedicated campers and new RV owners seeking luxury features — increasing demand for both new and existing RV consumers.
Handling the Increase of RV Production
RV manufacturers will reach shipment numbers not seen since before the great recession that began in 2007. For dealerships, this means accepting and storing inventory levels far beyond what has been the norm in recent years.
Material handling equipment like a motorized trailer mover can help employees safely and effectively move RVs like fifth wheel trailers and travel trailers. Motor homes and other heavy vehicles can also be pushed or pulled more easily with a powered trailer mover.
For dealerships and transport companies, the benefits of a vehicle pusher can significantly impact the bottom line by preventing workplace injury and streamlining daily operations. Visit DJProducts for more info on truck and trailer movers to handle RVs and other vehicles.
