RECREATIONAL VEHICLE LOANS

What is a Recreational Vehicle Loan?

Recreational vehicle loans can finance several items that involve outdoor and leisure activities. If you’re in the market for a motorcycle, camper, motorhome, RV, boat, or ATV, a Rec Vehicle loan can help alleviate the costly upfront purchase price. Recreational loans include:

RV Loans
As RV prices continue to soar, we have financing available to help you travel the country without breaking the bank.

Camper Loans
Are you looking for a camper to bring more family time to your summer? From Travel Trailers to Pop-ups, we can finance all types of campers so you can enjoy your weekend getaways.

Boat Loans
Owning a boat in Northeast Ohio has its rewards, but the initial costs can be daunting. A boat loan can make boat ownership possible so you can enjoy the open water.

Motorcycle Loans
Northeast Ohio has plenty of scenic motorcycle routes, from the Lake Erie shoreline to the Emerald Necklace. Harley, Yamaha, or Suzuki, we can fund your dream bike!

Jet Ski Loans
Tour the Lake Erie coast or see what small Ohio lakes have to offer. Jet Skis and other personal watercraft can deliver endless summer fun! Whether you’re buying new or used, FFCCU can provide financing for your new favorite water toy.

ATV Loans
Explore Ohio’s outdoors with an ATV or UTV! Whether you’re ready to buy a used or new ATV, we have financing options available for you! Hit the trails today!
