Sold an RV-- best way to get paid?

The bottom line is not everyone in this world is your friend. Not everyone has your best interest at heart.
Only way to know for sure is to have a transfer that has ZERO time delay for real funds to transfer. If there is a delay, then there is a way to be stolen from. Is every transaction out there a scam, of course not. To turn a blind eye to the possibility of it happening is just as naive though.
If the OP does do a transfer via the bank officer I would make sure to ask when do the true funds show up in the account. If the banker says immediate, then ask them "can I then have it in cash as soon as it shows up, and close out that account." If the answer is "no, you need to wait", then run Forest run.
