Best type of loan for a shed/shop?

Title says it all. Looking to build a shed for a RV and looking for finance options out there. Thanks.

Do you have enough equity to get a heloc? That's what I used.

Yeah I have around 100k in equity. Not too familiar with how those work, I’d have to do research.

The answer is a heloc and it’s not even close

A HELOC currently 7-10% w adjustable rate that could go up and secured by your primary home sounds like a bad idea for anything short of an immediate need. A fixed rate home equity loan may be slightly better option. I'd you have enough taxable investments you could borrow against them at better rates than a HELOC.

How much? How long do you need to finance? Are you having it built, building yourself, or getting it installed? You may have access to incentivised lower interest financing through builder, manufacturer, supplier of materials or perhaps even a zero interest credit card balance transfer.

How much is the shed/shop cost? I can’t imagine only having 100k in equity in my primary residence and owning an RV worth enough to necessitate a shed to protect it.
Take a step back. Does it not sound somewhat ridiculous that you are taking equity out of your primary residence to build a shed to cover your toy/hobby residence?

You can probably rent a covered storage space for around the same cost of your interest payment (if you’re getting a HELOC).

Have you contacted the manufacturers or retailers? I would not count them out at all, they can often offer competitive rates. A Heloc is almost unbeatable most of the time, but the retailer may have a dang good rate and something like 12 months no interest or whatever.
I don’t know what you are looking to pay but I would also consider a good downpayment.

I was thinking it was for RV storage at your house. If it’s on Grand Isle, you could be throwing 60k away if a hurricane hits. Is the RV parked there permanently or is a pull behind/5th wheel that you typically keep at the house?

It’s kept there permanently
