RVB’s 2025 RV of the Year Awards Recognize 67 Models
After one of the most difficult deliberations in recent years, RVB announces its selections for the 2025 RVBusiness RV of the Year, a list that includes the Top 10 Finalists, Top Debuts, Must-See RVs and Top Innovations.
The release of the overall winner of RV of the Year, which will come from the Top 10 Finalists, will be announced in the November-December issue of RVBusiness magazine in mid-November.
“Congratulations to all the winners,” said RVBusiness Publisher and Executive Editor Rick Kessler.
“This was an especially difficult year because so many manufacturers truly upped their game for the 2025 model year despite the market-related hurdles that the RV industry has faced,” he continued. “There were so many models under consideration that our selection process morphed into a drawn-out king-of-the-hill debate among our staff and a handful of trusted, independent advisors.”
The selection process is inescapably subjective, Kessler acknowledged, but the discussions always focus on brands that made their debut for the new model year – especially at major shows – as well as any significant innovations, upgrades and redesigns to existing lines. Other factors include market expectations, value propositions, and segment differentiation. Lastly, RVB also tries to recognize models from as wide a variety of manufacturers as possible.
The negative side effect of this all-too-imperfect process is that many deserving makes and models don’t always get a good enough look.
“Unfortunately, there will be friends of ours who will not be pleased, but that is not meant to detract from the nearly 60 units that found their way onto the RV of the Year list,” Kessler said.
