Don’t focus on the monthly payment

By admin | February 3, 2010

Don’t focus on the monthly payment figure alone to determine if you can afford a particular motorhome model. This is often done by car buyers too, but the monthly payment is only part of the whole loan picture. You need to take that monthly payment figure and multiply it by the number of months that the loan contract is in force. Once you have that figure, then compare the final cost of the loan contract with the cost of just buying the rig itself. Usually this will be an eye-opening exercise and can help you see if exhorbitant interest is being charged on this loan. If you find that you are paying almost as much in interest as you are for the motorhome itself, you may be better served to either look at something much less expensive, or make different financing arrangements.
