Analysis
NAICS 336213 is the 2022 national industry for motor home manufacturing, part of 33621 (Motor Vehicle Body and Trailer Manufacturing). Census lists 3 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 54% and employment fell 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
County Business Patterns counts 71 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 11,862 people at an average annual payroll of $62,087 per employee (37th percentile of national industries). 37% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 4th of the 4 codes at this level within Motor Vehicle Body and Trailer Manufacturing, with 3.2% of them.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include assembly line conversions of purchased vans and minivans, motor homes, self-contained, assembling on purchased chassis and van and minivan conversions on purchased chassis.
Its goods appear in 9 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 8703 (motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
