Saying that if I have to have a loan to buy a diesel pusher, then I can't afford the up keep. Is like saying if you have a mortgage your really cant afford to have a house...I guess everyone out there with a loan of any kind shouldn't have what they are payign on. I assure you I can afford the up keep, thats not a problem. I have been around tour buses and over the road big trucks my whole life I know what is invovled. I'm not trying to come off like I don't appreciate the info. But I am not hear looking for advise about what I can and can't afford.. I am looking for advise about leading institutions. I am not looking to put my house up for a loan or anything like that... I can afford about $600 a month in a payment, and still have plenty left for maint.. So thank you to the people that have addressed my question, and to anyone else who has some helpful insite to financing. But I will worry about what I can and can't afford.
