My bank offered much better rates on a new trailer not so good for a used one.

I know every situation is different, but look to exploit unique opportunities.
"Creative financing" sometimes becomes a necessity, good idea.

This is common in the automobile loan business also.

I'm looking to see if anyone here may have to cancel a factory order, for their 2015 Escape 17B or Escape 19 trailer. I'd be willing to discuss taking over the invoice. Send me a PM.

Thanks Folks,

Charley

We did not finance but I did look at the situation. What I found was that rates to finance the trailer were high but for vehicles were low. Don't know if that is the case everywhere but if you are buying the vehicle and not planning to finance it, but you do intend to finance the trailer, you might look at that and do the opposite.

That makes sense to me. Mortgage rates are typically even lower than new vehicle loan rates, so a variation is to borrow against the house... it's the same amount of debt either way. If your mortgage is a home equity line of credit, you just write a check against the line of credit - you don't even need to ask the bank.

Keep in mind that with a home equity line of credit you will have to pay for an appraisal of your house and will incur fees for a duplicate title.
That's what I did when I bought the trailer and the RAV4. The Toyota dealer advised me to call the bank to tell them I'd written a cheque on the line of credit for $36,000. Bank response was, "why are you calling us"?

Right - I wouldn't convert my conventional mortgage to a home equity line of credit just to borrow money for an RV, but if you already have this form, it is useful. We already had it when we bought our van, so we used it for the van.
