The seller can go to DMV by him self and call me when he gets it transferred!
It depends on how bad the buyer wants the unit. If the seller puts the Rv in his name he will pay fees taxes on the transaction. ASt this point the seller has avoided those fees thus far why pay them now?
The buyer is going to have to pay registration fees either weay to put RV in his name, but at this point the seller doesn't need to pay those fees. The seller can pay the fees to make the sale or find another buyer. Likewise the buyer can avoid the scenario and buy another RV.
Which gets back to the point, this is all a paperwork issue. If the buyer truly likes the RV otherwise he has incentive to negotiate to seal the deal. The paperwork issue does not have to be the deal breaker if the buyer believes the seller is honest and the rig was not registered because it was never put on the road, which is a very common practice
