I guess the bank will let us keep it.

I know many say that borrowing money for an RV is not the best option. However, many of us do....as we are not all independently wealthy.

The book says our final (60 month) installment is due in April 2018. Since we have sent "extra" every month, I knew we should be close to early payoff. Called the bank yesterday; payoff amount is less than a full month's payment.

The wife sent the online payment of $102.69.... Once the payment clears, we shall own our "tiny home".

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FEELING.... OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY.

Yep, in a few months the DW will want to trade it for a new rig. :S

Time to go to a show lol

CB, I believe that "pay cash" advice is for those who owe bunches to bunches and adding an RV payment may push them over the edge. Doesn't appear you are one of those....I see so many people in my biz drowning in debt.

Congrats!

Thee was a time in my life I was 100% debt free! I owned absolutely nothing to anyone or anything. ..... Then I got married! (and 5 grandkids later!)

Life of any type is costly.

poor health is very costly.

Congratulations! I used to know a guy who was fond of saying debt is a form of slavery and that true freedom is only possible if you owe no one anything. Until then, you MUST have an income, so you MUST have a job, which means you have a boss, and thereby your slave master . . . .

Congrats. No, but when you retire it's nice if you are.

Congrats on your fully paid for home away from home. Happy Camping!

Cbshoestring, I know that a lot of people can't pay cash but have the means to pay monthly for a RV. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

Stretching the budget so far where a hiccup in the economy will cause a person to lose their RV is probably not a good idea. And, what a cloud to have over a person when they live on the very edge of bankruptcy.

Sounds like you did it right! Congrats!

Safe travels,
MM.
