    I wasn't sure where to post this, but I have pop up car ads all the time, and a 2020 Pete, 389, big sleeper, came up, who cares what's under the hood, listing for $189,000. For gits and shiggles, I hit the "loan calculator", it comes to $2497.00 FOR 120 MONTHS, that's TEN YEARS!! Ok, first, is there that kind of money out there today for an O/O to buy this, and 10 year loan, you'll be making $2,500 dollar payments on a truck with a million miles on it. How can an industry sustain that? Is the $200K dollar large car right around the corner, and who is buying these things? How long is Pete going to be in business with prices like this?

    What's the difference between 10 year loan on a RV or a Semi?

    I seen one bank even offering 15 year loans on RV's.
