Camping World Wouldn’t Match Some Dealers’ Discounts. New RV Sales Fell 25.4% Some RV dealers cut prices this summer to clear older campers off their lots. Camping World CEO Matthew Wagner said matching those deals would have left too little to cover operating costs, so the chain let some sales go to competitors. Weaker demand also played a part. From July through September, Camping World sold 25.4% fewer new RVs than it did a year earlier. Read more about the discounts Camping World passed up. What Single-Axle Campers Can Tell Us About an $80 Million Drop in RV Parts Sales A large toy hauler can leave the factory with up to $15,000 in Lippert equipment. A small single-axle camper uses far less. RV makers shipped fewer trailers this summer, and single-axle models made up a larger share of those shipments. Lippert says that shift helps explain why builders spent about $80 million less on its parts than they did a year earlier. Read more about the trailers RV makers are building. Starlink’s 30% Roam Discount Brings 100 GB Down to $38.50 a Month New Starlink customers in select U.S. areas can get 100 GB for $38.50 a month or 300 GB for $56. That puts the 300 GB plan just $1 above what Starlink normally charges for 100 GB. You can check your address on the Roam order page even if you didn’t get the email. The signup deadline is November 30, though an area can fill up sooner. Read more about the offer and how to check your price. Why Camping World’s CEO Wants You to Trade In Your RV Every 3 to 4 Years Your old camper could earn Camping World more than the new one you take home. Last quarter, the average used RV sold for about $12,000 less than a new one but earned the dealer $1,122 more in gross profit. Wagner says the average RV coming back on trade is about 7½ years old. He’d like to see owners come back to trade every three to four years. Read more about what Camping World makes on a trade-in.
