WHEN BUYING A USED TRUCK CAMPER........

Thanks again everyone for the responses. I printed up a couple of bill of sales from online. I think that will have to satisfy me. Hopefully picking camper up next Wednesday. Will post pics, when I figure out how to do that.

If I were to sell my camper, I would include a certificate of origin which states where and when the camper is made, ID #, shipping weight, a statement that it is a camper and the signature(s), of the factory representative(s).
The reason I would include this is because that is what came with my camper when bought new.

You can always call the place they bough it from they will tell you if theyaid it or not

I bought my used in California I am the third user... Primarily there is no required paperwork.. I just had them write up a bill of sale and list the year make model and the serial number just like stated prior...

Most people put insurance on their T/C's. The idea of asking that question of the owner, and seeing his papers that way is a good one.

Here, as in many other places, T/C's are just cargo and while they have a serial number, there is no official registration of ownership.

We're supposed to get ours this weekend. I've printed off a "bill of sale" form from the Indiana BMV website. Plan on having us and her fill it out and then run copies for both of us.

Thanks for the quick responses and the info.

Most states consider a truck camper as cargo. That is good as it does not need to be initially registered nor have annual registration fees. Get a Bill of Sale from the seller and that should suffice. If the original owner had a loan on it there might be a document that the bank gave to the seller when the loan was paid off. It might be a manufacturer's origin certificate.

We purchased a used rental from a dealer. Received a receipt for the amount paid in full that also listed the camper unit and its serial number.

Because they are a business, also had a purchase agreement indicating we agreed to pay a specific amount for a specific camper with specific items included. But it is the receipt that indicates we've paid in full for that camper, fulfilling our obligations under the purchase agreement.

I'd also take a quick note of make and model of appliances... so you can do a quick research on if parts are avail, if warranty is still in play.
