We received an offer from an out of state buyer and he says he can provide us a certified bank check.

Is that a safe avenue?
Better than or different than a cashier's check?

Sight unseen? That is a big red flag.

Now when they say they have a check for $5,000 over the amount and they want a refund and will pick up the RV later.... total scam and very common.

If you get such a check take it to the actual bank where it is drawn and request a wire transfer. The small fee is worth it.
