Ensure you provide a receipt and accurate bill of sale to document the transaction.

  • Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
  • Camper make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
  • Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.

Buyer guidance

Carry large sums of cash only after verifying the vehicle title and condition. Use a cashier's check or wire transfer for high-value vehicles to reduce risk. Bring the seller to the bank if needed to verify funds. Once cash changes hands, recovery of fraud is very difficult.

Legal considerations

IRS Form 8300 is required for cash payments exceeding $10,000 under 26 U.S.C. § 6050I and 31 U.S.C. § 5331. The seller must provide a written statement to the buyer by January 31 of the following year. State sales tax is typically calculated on the bill of sale price; under-reporting sale price to reduce tax is tax fraud.
