Chad Shepard and Pete’s RV Business Manager Kyle Williams provide a brief overview on what to expect when you enter a business manager’s office. Also commonly known as the F&I (Finance & Insurance) Department, a business manager assists with financing your purchase, closing documentation, and offers a variety of products to further protect your RV investment.  This informative RV Buyer Tip video is available for viewing on the Pete’s RV YouTube Channel.

Pete’s RV Center offers the following products and services:

• Extended Warranty - Like your home, your RV has many appliances and pieces of hardware. That’s why every RV should include an extended vehicle service contract. Whether it’s your microwave oven, satellite dish or drive shaft, you can be assured that you are covered. Reputable warranty programs are transferable to either a new owner or new vehicle, are honored in any state or province, and are conveniently rolled in to your monthly RV payments.

• GAP Insurance - Protects RV owners from the financial burden of a total loss situation by covering the gap between the insurance settlement and the balance on the loan. In the event of vehicle theft or an accident that results in the total loss of your vehicle, most insurance companies only reimburse you for the market value of the vehicle. This, along with the deductible, can create a significant gap between what your insurer will pay you and the balance owed on your loan or lease.

• Tire and Wheel Protection - Provides coverage in the event of damage to your tires or wheels as a result of metal, nails, glass, debris, potholes, blowouts, etc. A solid program will not only cover tire replacement, but also costs associated with the repair or replacement of tires and/or wheels plus labor and associated fees.

• Roadside Assistance - Offers 24-hour, 365 day toll-free help throughout the United States and Canada. Covers towing, dead battery and flat tire service, gas, oil and water delivery, and a situation we’ve all been in at one time or another, lock-out assistance.

• Fabric Protection - Prevents damage from water and unsightly oil-based stains on all fabrics and carpets. Inhibitors within the sealant retard premature fading due to sun exposure. At time of purchase is the ideal time to apply fabric protection, but works for older vehicles too. If you have kids or a clumsy spouse, fabric protection buys you peace of mind (and adds only a couple of bucks in your monthly RV payment)!

• Bi-Weekly Payment - Allows you pay off your RV loan faster and better manage your cash flow. Instead of making one payment per month, you make a half payment every two weeks. You end up making an extra payment each year which accelerates pay-off and reduces vehicle depreciation.

Along with the the above products and services, Pete’s RV has an excellent relationship with a host of prominent financial institutions.  Therefore, our sales managers are able to evaluate multiple financing options, allowing them to match you with the best possible loan.

We introduced you to Kyle from our South Burlington, VT dealership.  Rachel Sargent is the Business Manager at our Schererville, IN location.  Both are highly knowledgeable, helpful, and make sales closings an uncharacteristically pleasant experience!
