OMB, a 20 year loan on a depreciating toy. Even at 4% you’ll pay more than double for it. A trailer at the end of 20 years might be worth 1/10th of what you paid for it. :S
“Responsible Debt” on a depreciating toy... now that’s stretch.
We bought (for cash) a used 8 year old Aurstream, one of the few trailers that will last more than 20 years, and pulled it all over the country for the next 10 years with a used burb. Sold the Airstreams for more than I paid for it because the new ones cost so much more. Our kids have been in almost all the states and probably 30 NPs.
Like I said above “ I apologize in advance as it’s probably not a good time to take on a older person who is limiting his outside exposure.
