Need Tips For Buying Used Camper

I am looking at a used truck camper listed on Craigslist.

What I don't know is what kind of title the seller should have.

The seller has sent me a picture of what they are calling a title, but the document is a certificate of origin......I don't know how truck campers are titled.
In a phone conversation they mentioned that they still have a loan for the camper and what they want for the camper is what they owe on it. So, I would think the bank is holding the title. The seller seems genuine in thinking the certificate of origin represents a title.

I don't want to buy the camper and find out later I am liable for a lien against it.

Any insight into buying from a private seller would be appreciated.
