OP here - on-line document worked just fine - nice couple drove 100 miles to see the coach and offered a fair price to purchase. Gave them receipt for the modest deposit (they offered to pay full cash on the spot) and recognized that owner will complete sale when she gets back from Fla in about 10 days. Receipt had my name and owner's name on it and was acceptable to both parties.
Appreciate all the legalese but this transaction was based on a mutual feeling that we were dealing with honest folks on both sides. Guess if I was in more metropolitan area I would be more worried about being scammed and I guess they trusted me enough to leave a $500 check made out to owner, not me.
Bottom line, glad I could help a friend who is going through a really tough time. We only advertised this on RV Trader last Tuesday and apparently priced it right because we got good response (2 folks were waiting to see if this couple bought before they came to look at). Got a nearly full price offer because it was a clean low mileage unit that was obviously well maintained.
