Free Minnesota RV Bill of Sale

Recreational vehicles in Minnesota — motorhomes, fifth-wheels, and travel trailers — title and register through MN DVS at deputy registrar offices, the same path as cars. The 6.875% MVST applies to most RV transfers, and the bill of sale backs up the purchase price the seller lists in the sales tax declaration on the back of the title. Larger rigs make a clear bill of sale especially valuable because price disagreements become real money quickly.

Minnesota Requirements: Transfer title within 20 days. 6.875% sales tax.

Sales Tax Details

6.875% MVST applies to motorhomes and most titled RV trailers based on purchase price, separate from general state sales tax. Collected by the deputy registrar at title transfer.

Exemption: Some transfers may be exempt from MVST; check with DVS which transfers qualify and how to claim an exemption.

Inspection Requirements

No state safety or emissions inspection on motorhomes or travel trailers in private sales.

Registration

Registration for this vehicle type is handled by Deputy registrar offices statewide for MN DVS — not the same agency that handles cars in Minnesota. Plan for separate filings.

Minnesota RV Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist

  1. Document VIN, year/make/model, length, weight class, and slide-out/options on the bill of sale
  2. Seller assigns the MN title and completes the odometer reading on motorized RVs
  3. Buyer files PS2000 at a deputy registrar within 20 calendar days after the title is assigned
  4. Pay 6.875% MVST plus the $10 transfer and $20 filing fees
  5. Confirm any LP gas, generator, or appliance issues are disclosed in writing
  6. Cancel or transfer specialty insurance and roadside coverage

Common Pitfalls

  • Reporting a price other than the real purchase price — MVST is charged on the purchase price, and on a large RV the difference is real money
  • Forgetting that travel-trailer plates do not transfer with the trailer in MN
  • Skipping a roof, slide-out, and chassis inspection before closing
  • Missing the 20-calendar-day filing window on a multi-state delivery
  • Assuming an RV inspection is required — Minnesota does not require one, but a third-party inspection is wise

Pro Tip

File PS2000 and the assigned title at a deputy registrar within 20 calendar days after the title is assigned. Pay 6.875% MVST and the $30 in transfer/filing fees to retitle the RV.

Minnesota RV Bill of Sale — FAQs

Is a motorhome taxed at the same 6.875% MVST as a car?
Yes. Minnesota's 6.875% Motor Vehicle Sales Tax applies to motorhomes and most titled RV trailers, just like passenger cars and light trucks. MVST is computed on the purchase price reported on PS2000 and supported by the bill of sale. Because RV prices run high, even a modest discrepancy can shift the tax bill significantly. Unless a transfer qualifies for an exemption (check DVS rules), plan on the full 6.875% plus $10 transfer and $20 filing fees.
Do I title a travel trailer or just register it?
Most travel trailers and fifth-wheels above the small-utility threshold are titled by MN DVS, not just registered. The seller assigns the trailer's Minnesota title to the buyer, who files PS2000 at a deputy registrar within 20 calendar days after the title is assigned. Smaller utility trailers may follow a simpler permanent registration path. Either way, the bill of sale should detail VIN, dimensions, GVWR, and major appliances. If you are buying out of state, expect to retitle in Minnesota promptly.
Where do I take the paperwork — the DMV?
Minnesota does not have centralized DMV offices for title work. RV title and registration is processed at any deputy registrar office, which is operated by counties or private contract operators on behalf of MN DVS. Bring the assigned MN title, completed Form PS2000, proof of MN insurance, and payment for MVST and fees; a bill of sale is a useful record but is not required for a titled vehicle. Larger metro deputy registrars typically handle high-volume RV transfers and can answer fee questions before you walk in.
Is an RV inspection required for a private sale in Minnesota?
No. Minnesota does not require a safety or emissions inspection on motorhomes or trailers in a private sale. That said, an RV is functionally a vehicle plus a small house, and pre-purchase inspections by an NRVIA-certified inspector are highly recommended. They check the chassis, roof, sealants, slide-outs, LP gas system, generator, electrical, plumbing, and appliances. Issues found during inspection should be priced into the deal or fixed by the seller before signing the bill of sale, since the as-is clause kicks in at closing.
