Yes, we may be able to get you a better loan interest rate when you refinance. Many people are often surprised by how much they can save when they refinance from higher interest rates. You can also refinance to lower your monthly payment with a longer term or pay off your loan faster with a shorter term.

Yes, you can get pre-approved for an RV loan. Pre-approval allows you to determine how much you can afford before you start shopping, and it also gives you a better idea of your potential interest rate and loan terms.

Yes, used RVs can be financed. The rates and terms for used RVs may vary depending on the age, condition, and value.

Yes, a hard credit check will be done when you apply for an RV loan. Your credit history is one of several factors that will be considered, and we understand that your financial situation may change over time. In addition to reviewing your credit profile, your current debts, employment history, and loan amount will also be considered. There are some things you can do to improve your credit score to help you qualify for an RV loan, like paying off some of your current debts, keeping old credit accounts open, and reviewing your credit reports for errors.
