2. How do RV loans work?
RV loans are similar in nature to car loans or mortgage loans. Lenders have loan to value requirements based on the book value. RV loans are simple interest loans, meaning every month there is a portion of your payment that is applied to principal and interest. As the balance decreases, more is applied to the principal and less to interest.
