The Top RV Trends to Watch for in 2025

Each year, it seems major strides and improvements are made in the RVing industry and 2025 is no different. Evolution in design and technology over the past several years means that exciting innovations are being implemented into rigs that will make life on the road even better. Let’s dive into some of the key trends that are set to transform RVs this year.

Solar-Power Systems

Solar power for RVs is not new, but there is more interest than ever in having solar power systems as standard features in rigs. With remote and off-grid camping becoming increasingly popular, many RVs in 2025 will come equipped with basic solar power systems, often expandable to suit your needs. This quiet and free power option reduces the need for generators and can help keep you off the grid longer.

12-volt Refrigerators

Traditional RV fridges are making way for 12-volt models that run on battery power. These refrigerators, which are showing up in everything from huge park models to small single-axle travel trailers, boast between 11 and 21 cubic feet of interior space and rival traditional refrigerators found in brick-and-mortar homes. The largest of these fridges even feature French doors, dual freezer trays, and ice makers. Built with hardened components designed for the RV lifestyle, these fridges are intended to last longer and withstand the rigors of travel better than their residential counterparts.

Air Fryer and Convection Microwave Ovens

The underutilized propane oven is being replaced by air fryer ovens or combo air fryer/convection microwave ovens. While they require 120-volt AC household power–meaning you need a generator, shore power, or a hefty inverter to run one–they eliminate the common issues of hot spots and limited interior space found in traditional RV ovens. As such, these modern appliances offer more versatility and efficiency for your cooking needs.

12-volt Smart TVs

Entertainment on the road is getting an upgrade, too, with 12-volt smart TVs appearing in many new RV models. These TVs run on RV battery power, allowing you to stream content wherever you are without draining your inverter. This means you no longer need to run a generator or an inverter just to watch TV, making it a convenient and energy-efficient option. Many TVs come packaged with premium soundbars for a complete entertainment experience.
