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 6.5% MVST applies to most RV transfers, and the bill of sale provides the price basis the deputy registrar uses to assess the tax. Larger rigs make a clear PS2032 especially valuable because price disputes become real money quickly.

Minnesota RV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Sales Tax Details
6.5% 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: Family transfers (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild) are MVST-exempt with PS2000 documentation.
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
- Document VIN, year/make/model, length, weight class, and slide-out/options on the bill of sale
- Seller assigns the MN title and completes the odometer reading on motorized RVs
- Buyer files PS2000 at a deputy registrar within 10 days
- Pay 6.5% MVST plus the $10 transfer and $20 filing fees
- Confirm any LP gas, generator, or appliance issues are disclosed in writing
- Cancel or transfer specialty insurance and roadside coverage
Common Pitfalls
- Reporting a low price on PS2000 without backup — large RVs draw scrutiny on MVST basis
- 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 10-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, the assigned title, and PS2032 at a deputy registrar within 10 days. Pay 6.5% MVST and the $30 in transfer/filing fees to retitle the RV.
