My wife and I will be retiring in a few years. We currently rent and will need to move out of our home at that time because it's employer provided. We are looking at a slightly used (3-4 years old) good quality Class A to live in when we retire or even sooner. We have excellent credit and it looks like my credit union will loan us $100,000 at 3.99% for 180 months (15 years) on a 2011 or newer model RV. Our monthly payback would be $739.19/month. This plus insurance plus RV park fees ($400-$600/month?) would put these expenses at around $1,500 per month max which is very doable for us. In addition there will be our usual living expenses of course plus the extra expenses of RV maintenance and fuel. We are expecting about $6,500/mo in income (before tax) when we retire. Any insights on this scenario? If it wise to borrow this much money for a high end Class A? We have children and family in about 3-4 areas of the USA and we would spend 3-4 months here and there in the RV. We would stay away from cold weather areas in the winter time.
