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.

  • Not all states title truck campers. A new camper would be supplied with a certificate of origin. This is the document one would use to title the truck camper.So if the owners state didn't title truck campers, just having a certificate of origin would be the correct document for him to have. You still need to make sure the lien on the camper is satisfied, whether he gives you the C.O.O or not.
