Good on you for asking the questions before buying. It's hard to hold
back when buyer fever is running hot and & you have a unit in your
sights.
The best advice you'll get today: Take your time. Time is your best
ally whatever you are buying.
I've never used RV.ORG but it comes highly recommended by people whose
judgement I trust. I have never bought an extended warranty in my
life so my recommendation there may be suspect but it is to run away.
The interest rate sounds high in today's market. Not sure what you
Yanks are paying but that rate would be high risk up here.
Mobile high speed internet has not arrived yet to the best of my
knowledge. But why would you want it? The point of RV'ing is half
journey &half destination. Mobile TV is definitely available.
Put your flak jacket on - you'll likely get shot at a bit but keep
asking the questions. There's lots of knowledge around this campfire.
