Apparently just having one am ex on your credit and a ton of assets is not enough.

INSANE! The rv industry is hurting, I can see why. The banks wont take ANY risk.
Try a credit union.
Explain your particulars.
Offer to use collateral to finance. At my credit union they suggested using my boat as collateral to buy a 4 wheeler. She said leave the house unencumbered in case anything happened. I liked that logic. It ended up as a business deduction. All very up and up too.
