The RV industry is experiencing a significant downturn following a pandemic-driven boom, leading major retailers like Camping World Holdings to implement operational changes. Over the 12 months concluding March 31, 2026, Camping World reduced its store footprint by closing or consolidating 13 locations. This strategic move is part of an effort to improve overall cost efficiency and profitability per store.
These consolidation efforts, along with other expense-cutting measures, have contributed to a reduction in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses. The company's full-time employee count also saw a notable decrease in 2025, dropping from 12,701 to 11,144. Management has focused on aggressively reducing inventory, streamlining operations, and enhancing liquidity.
As of mid-2026, Camping World Holdings has a market capitalization of $672.45 million, with its share price declining substantially over the past year and five years. The company is also reportedly embracing AI to further reduce operating costs and improve customer service, signaling a shift towards efficiency in a challenging market environment.
