Does anyone own an RV?

Will they take multiple credit cards?

Will they take multiple credit cards?

Do banks not do car loans for RV's? I have never had an RV so I have no idea.


And shame on you Doug for the thread title! Don't you know it should be "Does anyone own an R5?"

I wouldn't qualify for another loan right now, probably. Still have two years left on my car. Not that I'd apply for a loan on this.

Working from home yesterday, an elderly gentleman stopped at my house and asked if my camper van is for sale. He has traveled across to the West Coast in an RV multiple times and wanted something that gets better gas mileage.

I politely said, it is not for sale.
I have a 1989 Dodge XPLORER RV Class B

Everything is for sale, man.

What if he offered $15,000 because he's a crazy, rich person?

Good point but I would only sell it if I was financially strapped which I am fortunate to not be at the moment. Just like my camper, you will find one when you least expect it.

Just had this RV (Car) Port built over the weekend. Our RV's are older so thought the investment would be good.

Should help, I'd imagine. Something that I did think about earlier today when talking with someone about an RV (still just a plan for the future), what is the "winter proof" stuff that you go through? The low temps, at least around here, could seem to be a problem for water lines and such. Do you just drain everything during the winter? How often do you go out and start it up, drive it around the block a few times just to keep it from sitting for months at a time?

Everything is drained before winter. There is pink type liquid stuff that you put in the lines to assure nothing freezes. Any break in the weather during the winter I start up for awhile and try to take them out for a drive. I drive the van to work on occasion.

We take our travel trailer in every winter and have it winterized. Should be able to get it done for less that $100. It usually cost us about $75. They just drain all the water from the lines and pumps and run RV antifreeze thru the lines. Once it's finished we put a cover over it and call it good for the winter!

Thanks for the info guys. Appreciate it. It's been added to my ever expanding checklist of RV Things.

Scooter Gennett sort of stole my RV idea.
