The Chevy dealer finally got approval for our warranty repair on our truck. They told us we may get it back tomorrow afternoon. You better believe I will test the heck out of the truck before I reconnect our house and head up the mountain towards Barstow. We still have hopes of Albuquerque and the balloon fiesta.
While we have been here, I have discovered some things.
We thought about going to a motorhome instead of 5th wheel/truck. We thought about trading my truck in on a new Silverado.
Here is what I discovered.
Nobody will finance a person who lives full time in his RV.
Now this is something we didn't learn about during our research. Get your RV before going full time. We had the credit scores, down payments, etc. Turned down by all the finance companies, banks, and credit unions because all we had was our South Dakota (Americas Mailbox) address. I am not going to lie about where we live and who we pay rent to (yes, this is what Camping World wanted us to do).
We are going to get our truck back. Give it a test. And continue on with our dream of traveling the country, seeing the sights, and smelling the roses!
We have faith.
When we think of trading in our 3500 for a new one (they're nice!) we rethink it due to the payment, and wondered about getting a loan as well. Have to make ours last for awhile! Good luck getting it back and testing it out!
ReplyDeleteDo you check with a outfit called Essex? They advertise to be the place for fulltimers to get loans. I don't know anything about them but have seen others mention them and they advertise in the Escapee's mag.
