When Do I Need an RV Bill of Sale?

A Recreational Vehicle (RV) Bill of Sale is required anytime an RV is sold or transferred between a seller and a buyer. It’s an essential legal sales document that records the sale and is required in most states in order to transfer the title of the vehicle and show proof of ownership.

How to Sell an RV

1. Prepare Your RV for Sale

Have your RV cleaned, repaired, and looking like new before taking pictures for advertising. It may be best to hire a professional cleaner or get cleaning supplies to help assist in making the vehicle appear as good as possible. Afterward, take photos with a professional camera or a high-end smartphone to capture the interior and exterior.

2. Get an Appraisal

If you’re not sure how much your RV is worth, get it appraised by local dealers and compare it online with others like it. This will help give you a healthy range to work with when negotiating the final sale.

3. Decide How to Sell

Do you want to sell to a dealer, advertise it online, use a window sign in a high-traffic street, or a combination of some or all of these? Advertising can be expensive, but reaching the right sellers don’t have to be when you advertise online or via other cheap methods.

4. Negotiate and Gather Paperwork

When a potential buyer comes along and takes a look at the RV, this is typically when the negotiations begin. He or she will ask about the condition it’s in, if there are any repairs needed, and may ask for an inspection from a third (3rd) party mechanic. If other similar RVs are going for the same price, then the buyer will usually understand where the seller is coming from. Once a purchase price and terms are coordinated, the parties can move to a bill of sale.

5. Complete the Transaction
