A Bill of Sale for a camper is necessary whenever a recreational vehicle changes hands. Some common situations where this form is needed include:

Resolving a conflict
Assessing the value of an RV

This crucial legal record documents the transaction and is mandatory in the majority of states for transferring the vehicle's title and demonstrating ownership.

An RV Bill of Sale must specify the type of vehicle, which is typically one of the following:

Truck campers: This RV involves stacking a camper on a full or mid-sized truck bed, which can be removed.
Travel trailer: This kind of RV can be towed by most vehicles and can house up to 8 people. It usually includes a kitchen and storage space.
Class A motorhomes: This type is usually built on a commercial or truck chassis, they can accommodate 2-4 people and can tow around 5,000 pounds or more.
Class B motorhomes: Often referred to as camper vans.
Class C motorhomes: Housing up to 8 people, this RV can be detached from the car or truck.
Popup campers: These RVs can expand or "pop up" to create more space when needed and then collapse for travel.
Fifth wheel coupling: Named after the U-shaped coupling mounted on the trailer's cargo bed. Ideal for storing household items.
Toy haulers: This RV features a rear garage door for easy loading and unloading.

It is crucial to accurately identify and specify the type of RV in the Bill of Sale to ensure all parties involved are fully aware of the kind of vehicle being transferred and fulfill all legal requirements.
