Thinking about hitting the open road in your dream RV, but worried your credit score might slam the brakes? You’re not alone—and you’re not out of options either.
Here at RV Depot, we’ve helped thousands of people with imperfect credit turn their travel dreams into reality. This practical Q&A guide answers the biggest questions about financing an RV with bad credit and how RV Depot can help you get approved faster than you think.
❓ What is “Bad Credit” and Why Does It Matter for RV Loans?
Bad credit usually means a score below 580, but even scores under 670 can be considered “subprime” by lenders. It tells banks you may have had trouble repaying loans in the past, which often means:
-
Higher interest rates
-
Bigger down payments
-
Fewer lender approvals
But here’s the truth: Your score is just one piece of the puzzle. At RV Depot, we look at the full picture—including income, job stability, and your down payment.
❓ Can I Still Finance a Camper with Bad Credit?
Yes, you absolutely can.
Many people with low or no credit history finance RVs every day. You just need to find the right dealership—one that doesn’t let credit get in the way of your future.
That’s where RV Depot’s in-house financing shines. No third-party banks. No automatic rejections. Just real people helping you get approved based on your current reality—not your past.
❓ What Steps Can I Take to Boost My Chances?
Even if your credit isn’t great, there are smart moves you can make:
| Strategy | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| 💰 Save for a Down Payment | Shows commitment and lowers loan risk |
| 👥 Consider a Cosigner | A trusted friend or relative with good credit can strengthen your approval |
| 🧾 Know Your Budget | Factor in insurance, taxes, fuel, and maintenance—not just the payment |
| 💳 Work on Your Score | Paying off debts and avoiding new credit can help before you apply |
| 🔍 Shop Around | Look beyond banks—consider RV dealers like RV Depot who offer in-house options |
