Yes, I'm sure. I was "approved" by USAA as well. When I tried to finalize and fund the loan was when I found out their system doesn't have the ability to process a loan from an international dealer. It only allows for US dealers.

There is quite a bit of misinformation given to the borrower depending on who you talk to. Many of them don't know that their system won't process an international rv loan.

Also, there's a bit of a problem with the scenario you mentioned even if they did fund it. Taking a check to ETI when you pick up might work, but remember that the payment is due when the trailer is completed -- and that may be weeks before you pick it up, as in our case.

You Sir are correct they offered me a "Personal" loan at an insulting rate... Im using a home equity line of credit instead.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to provide an update in case anyone else is wondering about financing an Escape through USAA.

As of today, USAA [still] will not finance any vehicle purchased outside of the United States. (Even though Escape Trailer is represented in the NADA manual, they just won't do it.)

We chose the financing that Escape provided for ease of transaction then later switched to our local credit union. It seemed the simplest way to do it and worked out great.

Was USAA your local credit union?

That's odd, they financed our Escape 19' in 2016 with no problems.
