Financing

There are great deals available on exciting new models. It’s a great time to invest in an RV for years of vacation savings. Now is the time to see us at Elk River RV!

In the wake of the covid-19 pandemic, consumer financing remains available for qualified borrowers looking to purchase a vehicle to fit their needs at a price to fit their budget. We offer in-house financing through multiple banks and lending sources. Our in-depth knowledge will make the process go that much smoother.

The median term for new RV loans is just over 18 years for new RVs and about 17.5 years for used RVs, according to the 2008 Survey of Lenders’ Experiences, an annual nationwide survey conducted by RVIA of financial institutions concerning their RV lending portfolios.

  Why Should You Finance Your RV?

When you finance your purchase instead of liquidating assets or paying cash, you maintain your personal financial flexibility. Plus, your RV may qualify for some of the same tax benefits as a second home mortgage. Of course, check with your tax advisor, but basically to qualify for these benefits, such as the deductibility of interest on the loan, the RV must be used as security for the loan along with providing basic living accommodations such as a sleeping area, bathroom and cooking facilities. Remember, the RV is considered a qualified second residence as long as you designate it for each tax year.

  What Are the Advantages of Financing Through an RV Lending Specialist?

Down payments are lower - Although final terms are determined based on your credit profile and the age, type and cost of the RV being purchased, financing through RV lenders usually requires down payments in the 10% range.

Finance terms are longer / Monthly payments are lower - Because RV finance specialists know that RVs maintain their value and resale appeal, they tend to offer more attractive terms. In fact, it's not uncommon to find 15 year repayment schedules to help you afford the RV of your dreams.

  How Does RV Financing Compare With Other Options?

Borrowing against an owned home is not an option unless the money is used directly for that home. Home mortgage interest deduction is restricted to interest paid on mortgage debt used to purchase or improve a residence, or to refinance the remaining balance on a purchase or improvement. The purchase of an RV, therefore, does not qualify for this deduction. Home equity loans limit the amount of interest that is deductible, if your RV loan balance exceeds $100,000. Home mortgage interest deduction is limited to interest paid on home equity loans up to $100,000.

Your RV might actually cost you less in the end if you finance your purchase. By not tapping into your financial assets to purchase the RV, you can take advantage of attractive new investment opportunities that might come along and the earnings from those investments can potentially exceed the cost of your RV financing. The bottom line is that if you are thinking of buying an RV, you should check financing options to maximize your purchase enjoyment. You'll be on the road enjoying your new RV before you know it!
