RV Financing Tips

  • RVs depreciate significantly in the first few years, so consider buying used to avoid the steepest depreciation.
  • RV loans often have longer terms (10-20 years) than auto loans, but this means more total interest paid.
  • Many lenders require 10-20% down payment for RV loans.
  • Don't forget to budget for insurance, storage, maintenance, and campground fees.
  • Calculate your "cost per night" by dividing annual ownership costs by expected nights of use.
  • Consider renting an RV first to determine if the RV lifestyle is right for you before committing to purchase.
  • Many RV owners use their vehicles less than 30 days per year - make sure your usage justifies the investment.
