They also would have found a set of stolen (they weren't stock) that they didn't have to crop, darken, etc. to remove the copyright info on the image.
I think it is safe to say that neither Craigslist ad is legitimate - that they are looking for folks to send a quick down payment and then disappear with the non-existent RV.
