bbengleking Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 So I'm looking to full time and I'm very interested in a HDT and 5er for the space. Currently wife and one year old daughter but looking at one more kid. Anyone have leads on a reasonably priced complete rig, truck and trailer? Looking for a trailer close to 40ft for the space.

bbengleking Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ours. http://trucktrailerforsale.blogspot.com/ If there was a dedicated space for our daughter to sleep that would be awesome. I like the truck since I have two bikes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ban Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi, you were trying to get in touch with me about my rig. It is the 2009 730 Volvo on the site. I erased you e-mail by mistake. You can contact me at davesuebanville@gmail.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbengleking Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Alright group, so after calling the bank and finding out it might be possible to go full time and get the trailer and truck i'm looking at, any suggestions on trailers? the wife and i both love the layouts of the bunkhouse models (Grand Design) in particular. We have our daughter now and are looking to try and have a second kid in a year or two so i'm always wondering about kids in the RV and truck. I know i would have to find a way to haul the car and motorcycles when i transfer, but i have four years to figure that out. i am looking at a HDT for towing due to safety of stopping and hauling power. i know this is a continuation of my other post, so feel free to keep me in the loop. i want to hear from families that have kids and how they make it work. I'm also active duty Navy and have 4.5 years at my current duty station. After that I'll PCS to who knows where at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Schneider Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 If you're going to take out a loan, keep in mind the mortgage income tax deduction only applies to the amount you pay for the living unit. In the case of a motorhome this includes the engine and drivetrain, so the only vehicle cost that isn't deductible is the toad. On a truck and trailer, only the trailer cost is deductible, not what you pay for the truck to tow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbengleking Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thought that only applies if you already had a home anyways, which I don't. I can seem to find about using a rv as primary and getting that tax deduction. Granted I'd have to get a rv loan to do this and that's whatever. I know it's not the best but that's the only way I can make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thought that only applies if you already had a home anyways Not exactly. An RV 'can' be your residence and any interest paid on the loan is deductible. As Lou pointed out though.. only on the "living quarters" portion being financed. If you had a home mortgage 'and' an RV loan then you would have to decide which you would claim as your primary residence for the deduction.

LindaH Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 If you had a home mortgage 'and' an RV loan then you would have to decide which you would claim as your primary residence for the deduction. You can deduct the mortgage interest on a primary home and a second home, which can be an RV. You also don't need a "sticks & bricks" home in order to deduct the interest on an RV loan...we did that for 12 years while we were fulltimers. There are, of course, some limitations. Read the IRS Publication 936, Home Mortgage Interest Deduction to get all the details, including what is considered a "qualified home." https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 You can deduct the mortgage interest on a primary home and a second home Good info. I'll have to look into that more. It's been years since I tried on a secondary stick and bricks.. and at the time.. for whatever reason.. I had to choose one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
