Sold an RV-- best way to get paid?
I sold an RV on eBay to a guy in Florida. He has already contacted me & paid the $100 deposit via Paypal. He says he's going to get a transport company to pick it up but we haven't worked out the when...

When buying our last HTT, we made a tentative deal via pics on email and a telephone call. We borrowed an 'excessive' TV from a friend to pick it up.
We took cash for 80% and a check for the balance, to be negotiated based upon final inspection and such. Asked the seller to make arrangements for a local notary to transfer the title while we were there.
We followed seller to his bank to deposit the funds, then to the notary (AAA) and did the title transfer on the spot. Then we returned to his house and hitched up the camper, said our goodbyes and headed home.
The "transport company" may have instructions to do a quick inspection upon pickup. 'Certified funds' and have them accompany you to the bank and then to the notary. If the buyer is out of state, many times, they need a notarized Bill of Sale (check specific state laws) to register title in their state.
Pretty simple. Everybody is protected and comfortable. Nothing is 100%, but do the best you can.
