Rv lien checks

[Lancey]

Another question for you guys, how would I go about doing a lien check when buying a unit from the USA, or is it even nesasery? In Canada for cars its no problem, just a phone call. Not sure how liens work down south? Is it even somthing I need to worry about?

Thanks
Lance

I did have one purchaser question a legitimacy of ownership. I had a bonafide document with VIN attached to my name by virtue of having insurance coverage. It quenched any fears on his behalf that I was in fact the legitimate owner.

Right, in Canada they are just considered "cargo" so no plate or registration. This Particular camper is coming from wa and I do know it has a plate. Its a 2005, so I have a hard time believing that someone still owes $ on it, but its not outside realm of possibility lol

Unless the seller has title in hand it likely has a lien on it. Just sold my fiver. The title showed the lien holder but they had signed off on it then delivered the title to me.

Varies state by state. Which state?
