Second paragraph of the above link:
If you are planning either to buy or sell a vehicle and the vehicle’s title is missing, the owner of the vehicle must apply for a duplicate title. The sale is not valid without a properly assigned title. If the title has been mutilated or otherwise ruined, the owner of the vehicle must apply for a duplicate title in order for the sale to proceed.
Isn't that what his reply back from the DMV was? He can't get ahold of the person who sold him the 5th wheel so that they can apply for the duplicate title.
