Which Loan Is Right For You?
Important Notes
- RVIA certification is required for most RV loans. Not all THOWs qualify — check before applying.
- THOWs do not qualify for traditional mortgages — they are personal property, not real estate.
- Rates are calculated from live market data and adjust by credit tier. Get pre-approved quotes from multiple lenders.
- Land purchase requires a separate land loan — home financing does not cover the lot.
- Credit unions often beat bank rates by 1–2% — check local options before deciding.
