Inspiring Youth for a Brighter Future!
 
We are thrilled to announce that the RVDA of Canada is gearing up for an exhilarating RV Career Showcase, set to take place at the Centre de Foires in Quebec City on May 30 and 31, 2024. This event is a cornerstone in our commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent by promoting RV career opportunities to youths. As a proud try-a-trade exhibitor at the 2024 Skills Canada National Competition (SCNC), we are dedicated to sparking interest and passion among young minds.
  
Canadian retail sales statistics for March 2024 are now available for both motorized and towable recreational vehicles. These statistics will allow dealers to better manage the inventory on their lot by knowing which units are selling in their area, which price points are attracting buyers as well as knowing the local trends affecting their marketplace.
  
RV Dealerships in Canada continue to experience improved repair event cycle times in April. 
 
April's average cycle times dropped to a 42-day average - 8 days faster than March's average and the quickest April average since 2021. It should also be noted that this average was just 3 days slower than the average cycle time in April 2018
•   The cycle time for work orders impacted by the two main bottlenecks held steady in April.  
•   The average cycle time for work orders with at least 1 out-of-stock part was at a 99-day average just 1- day quicker than March's average, but this was the fastest April average since 2018.  
•   Cycle time for work orders with warranty coverage was at a 64-day average in April - 1 day quicker than March's average and the fastest April average since 2021. 
 
Join the Dealership Insight Forum next Friday, May 24, 2024. This discussion will be focused on RV parts.
