Can you get a 10 year RV loan?

On average, RV loans range from 10-15 years, but many banks, credit unions and other finance companies will extend the term up to 20 years for loans of $50,000 or more on qualified collateral.

What should I haggle for when buying a motorhome?

As with any purchase, new or used, haggle for a discount, better trade-in value or accessory packs thrown in. If you are a first-time motorhome buyer it might be handy to get the dealer to include a gas bottle, hook-up lead and other essentials, but don’t be unrealistic about how far you can haggle.

Where does the money come from to buy a motorhome?

All motorhomes are bought by dealers at a cost price from the manufacturer and then sold on at a profit. This is your margin for haggling on new motorhomes. Be mindful that dealers do have to earn a living too, so you can’t expect to get a major discount.

Do you need a breakdown policy when buying a motorhome?

Some aftermarket warranties (and some new motorhomes) come with limited breakdown cover, but this often is only for specific things on the base vehicle, so you are likely to need a comprehensive, motorhome-specific breakdown policy, too. The dealer is likely to want a deposit, and this is not normally refundable.

Is it an easy decision to buy an RV?
