Formula Used

The monthly payment (PMT) is calculated using the standard loan amortization formula:

PMT = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:

  • P = Principal loan amount (Purchase price - Down payment)
  • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)

Total interest is calculated as: Total interest = (Monthly payment × Number of payments) - Principal loan amount

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for a $30,000 camper with a $5,000 down payment, 5-year term, and 5.5% annual interest rate.

  1. Principal = $30,000 - $5,000 = $25,000
  2. Monthly rate = 5.5% / 12 = 0.4583%
  3. Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
  4. Monthly payment = [$25,000 × 0.004583 × (1.004583)^60] / [(1.004583)^60 - 1] ≈ $482.36
  5. Total interest = ($482.36 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $2,941.60

This example shows you'll pay approximately $482.36 per month with $2,941.60 in total interest over the loan term.

Types of Camper Loans

USAA offers several types of camper loans to suit different needs:
