Arkansas RV Bill of Sale

How to sell a RV in Arkansas

An RV bill of sale covers motorhomes, campers, travel trailers and fifth wheels. Motorhomes need an odometer reading like any motor vehicle; towable campers do not. Every state titles RVs through the DMV, so the buyer will need the signed title and this bill of sale to register.

Seller steps

1. Confirm you hold clear title. If a lender is on the title, get the lien release before you list it.
2. Agree on the price and fill in the Arkansas RV bill of sale above with the buyer. Record the VIN and the exact odometer reading.
3. Both parties sign and each keeps a copy. Arkansas does not require a notary.
4. Sign the title over to the buyer exactly as your name appears on it, and complete the odometer section on the title if the RV has one.
5. File a notice of sale or release of liability with the Arkansas Office of Motor Vehicle if Arkansas offers one, remove your plates if the state keeps plates with the seller, and cancel the insurance once the buyer has driven away.

Buyer steps

1. Bring the signed bill of sale (or Arkansas's Form 10-313), the signed title and your ID to the Arkansas Office of Motor Vehicle.
2. Expect to pay sales or use tax on the price shown on the bill of sale, plus title and registration fees.
3. Register within Arkansas's deadline, commonly 10 to 30 days from the sale date, to avoid late penalties.

Before you sign

• Note whether it is a motorhome (odometer required) or a towable (no odometer).
• List every included item: generator, solar, hitch, leveling blocks, furniture.
• Check for a lien; many RVs are financed for 10 to 15 years.
• Photograph the VIN plate and the data sticker near the door.

Why a bill of sale matters for a RV

• RVs are high-value and often sold with generators, hitches and furnishings that should be listed.
• The DMV uses the price for sales tax, which on a $40,000 rig is real money.
• Motorhomes need federal odometer disclosure; this form includes it.
• An as-is clause protects the seller from water-damage and appliance claims later.
