Does the State of TN title truck campers?

When we bought our Northstar in 2018 we, or the dealership,I can't remember, paid the sales tax to the state of TN. I assumed at that point TN generated a title and sent it to the lein holder, Bank of the West. However, we just sold it and paid off the bank who then sent us a letter of proof of the same,but no title. Instructions with the letter said to take it to the tag/title office in TN for a title. The clerk could find no record of the existence of the camper, and could not make or find a title stating that it was not a vehicle. Anyone run into this? The new owners are expecting title. Any experienced counsel in this matter would be appreciated.

    You have to request a new title and pay a fee. The bank only sends a lien release to the RMV. It stays electronic until you finalize it for yourself. Go into RMV and get your title if you want a paper document.

    Have the new guy go with you, and he can pay one title fee and get it in his name instead of in yours first and then his - double fee. The title is clear as long as the bank sent the lien release to the RMV, then it's a clear electronic title in your name.

    according to this link Tennessee does require a title.

    In the world of electronic titles, I bet your bank electronically cleared a lean and your state can produce the title in a week or 2
