How to get started

Wondering how to apply for an RV loan? Don't worry, the process is quite similar to other types of personal loans. And as always, our expert lending team is ready to guide you through with a friendly helping hand.

Step 1

Shop around for an RV

The first step toward getting an RV loan is finding an RV, travel trailer or motorhome to buy. It could be new from a dealership or pre-owned from a private seller. Shopping around will help you find the best deal.

Step 2

Apply for an RV loan

Contact us or visit a local branch to apply for an RV loan. One of our friendly loan experts will gather information about you and the vehicle you'd like to purchase. Feel free to ask any questions throughout the process—we're here to help.

Step 3

Close your loan to receive your funds

Lastly, you'll sign closing documents to finalize your RV loan. After closing, you'll receive your funds, which could arrive in as little as 24 hours. Then you can return to the seller to buy and enjoy your new camper.
