About the RV Bill of Sale
An RV bill of sale covers Class A, B, and C motorhomes as well as towable units (fifth wheels, travel trailers, pop-ups, and toy haulers). Motorhomes are titled and registered like motor vehicles — they have a VIN and require full title transfer. Towable RVs are titled like trailers and need their own separate title. Our form captures RV class, slide-outs, length, and whether the unit has an auxiliary generator.
When to Use This Form
Use the RV bill of sale for any motorhome, camper van, fifth wheel, travel trailer, pop-up camper, or toy hauler. For motorized units (Class A/B/C), treat the sale like a motor vehicle. For towable units, follow your state's trailer titling process.

Odometer rules: motorhomes versus towables
- A towable RV, such as a travel trailer, fifth wheel or pop-up, has no engine of its own. So the federal odometer statement does not apply to it (49 CFR 580.17).
- A motorhome drives itself, so it needs the mileage statement if it is model year 2011 or newer. The exception is a gross vehicle weight rating over 16,000 lbs, which many big Class A coaches have.
- West Virginia's DMV also lists travel, utility and recreational trailers as exempt from the odometer statement.
Trailer titles and fees differ by state (examples we checked)
- Massachusetts: a trailer with a gross weight under 3,000 lbs does not need a title.
- Vermont: the registration form asks for a trailer's empty weight, length and width. Trailers can register for 5 years at a time.
- Indiana: a bill of sale can prove you own a pop-up trailer bought before July 1, 2016, or a utility trailer bought before 1990.
- Illinois: registering a trailer costs $36, and the title is $165.
What to record for an RV
- The VIN, and for a motorhome the odometer reading without tenths.
- The gross vehicle weight rating from the maker's label. It decides whether the odometer rule applies.
- The length, slide-outs, generator and its hours, and every appliance or accessory included in the price.
- Any title brand, water damage or known defects, and whether the sale is as-is.
