Well all I can say is I have made BAD choices. My fiance and I both had good jobs and bought a brand new $26,000 travel trailer. Then we BOTH lost our jobs because we were DATING... long story. Between the two of us we lost $10/hr. Long story short, the trailer was in MY name because he had previous debt issues, then I had to let the trailer be repossessed. He found a better job, but it's turning out to not be so good because since this year has started he has only worked about four spuratic weeks and my wimpy income is not covering our expenses.

First let me say that I totally understand your situation. I have been in your place but now thanks to the help of many people, and much research, I am on the road to a better finacial life.

I have a question: If the trailer was repoed, why do you owe the total amount?

Here are is my suggestion:
1. Put yourself on a very strict and tight budget. This is not easy but I am telling you it works. I did this and it changed my life.
2. Think about your cars. Is it possible to sell the cars, pay off the loans, and then use the rest of the money to pay cash for new cars?? This is easier said then done I know.
3. If you still have the trailer, I would get rid of it. Sell it and then pay off the loan. Then when you are better off, you could get something else.

Just my suggestions and I wish you luck. Keep us posted.
