| 10%
10% isn't good, but it's not that bad either, especially if your payments are HIGH enough for you to itemize your deductions. Look at the total cost to live - monthly payments, plus campground charges - and if that amount is less than a semi-decent apartment... well go for it.
DO try to pay off the loan early, or at least use a substantial portion of your savings to build a bank "pay it off" savings account. That way you're prepared for whatever happens.
You didn't mention what your future employment prospects look like. We all have to worry about the economy - and getting pay cuts or losing our jobs - but with an Airstream, your packing time to go to a new job is about an hour or two - and that includes checking the air pressure in the trailer tires.
