Purchasing a vehicle in a state separate from where your legal residence is can be complicated although it happens daily. Different states have different laws and regulations and communication between states and their agencies can be complicated at best.
Agreed! Some states are "reciprocal" with each other: if we sell a used car in Michigan, to a customer in Ohio, we can collect the 6% sales tax that Michigan charges; and then the customer must pay the difference to Ohio to get their plate.
My guess is that your RV dealer was supposed to collect part of the sales tax for their state - and now needs to prove to their state licensing bureau that the tax *was* paid. I agree that you could send them a copy of the paid tax receipt with any sensitive info blacked out
