How can I finance my new or used mobile home?

You want to buy a mobile home to spend your vacations in your favorite region? Whether you live by the sea, in the countryside or in the mountains, becoming the owner of a mobile home is still accessible thanks to a consumer credit.

You can have access to a private garden, a kitchen opening onto a wooden terrace and all the functional equipment you need. The campsites are usually equipped with a heated swimming pool, shops and games for children.
