Financing Overview
While it’s not as fun as getting behind the wheel of your own RV, it’s important to know some basic financing information so you can be sure you are getting a good deal and financing responsibly.
As with a car loan or personal loan, RV loans come with different rates and repayment terms that depend on your credit history. The first step in any loan process is checking your credit report and history and making sure it’s in shape to take on additional debt.
SeaWest offers RV loans starting at terms from 36 months up to 12 years. In addition to terms, remember to think about the interest rate, which is the cost you pay to borrow money expressed as a percentage. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the cost you pay each year to borrow money including associated fees.
SeaWest appreciates all you and your family have done and we always strive to offer you the very best terms and rates. Our RV rates are no different! New RVs come with an APR of 5.99%* and used RVs have an APR of 6.29%*. You can determine what you need to get started with our handy RV loan calculator.
