What is a Recreational Vehicle Bill of Sale?

A Recreational Vehicle Bill of Sale is a written record of the sale of an RV from one party to another. It identifies the buyer and seller, describes the RV being sold, sets out the purchase price and payment terms, and records the date of ownership transfers. Once signed, it serves as proof that the sale happened and that ownership has changed hands.

The document covers any kind of recreational vehicle — Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups, truck campers, and toy haulers — and works for both private sales between individuals and sales involving a business entity on either side.

When People Use It?

• Selling or buying a used RV in a private transaction, outside of a dealership
• Transferring an RV between family members, friends, or business associates
• Documenting a sale that includes a trade-in, deposit, or payment plan
• Providing the paperwork needed to register and title the RV with the DMV
• Creating a record before delivering the RV when payment and transfer happen on different dates
• Closing a sale where the RV has an existing loan or lien that will be paid off at or before closing

Why People Use It?

• Creates a clear, signed record of what was sold, for how much, and on what terms
• Protects both parties if questions come up later about the condition, price, or ownership of the RV
• Includes a federal odometer disclosure, which is required by law for most vehicle sales
• Documents whether the RV is being sold "as-is" or with limited warranties, reducing the risk of post-sale disputes
• Records any liens or loans against the RV so the buyer knows what to expect at closing
