A camper bill of sale (sometimes called an RV bill of sale or RV purchase agreement) is a legal document that proves the transfer of ownership of a recreational vehicle from the seller to the buyer. It protects both parties by recording the sale price, date, condition (“as-is” language), VIN, and identifying information.
Even in states that don’t require a bill of sale for title transfer, having one is critical for:

This template is specifically optimized for a camper bill of sale GA but contains optional fields and clauses for Florida, Texas, California, North Carolina, and every other state.
Georgia is one of the strictest states when it comes to RV and camper sales tax and title paperwork. The Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) and county tag offices require:
Georgia calculates sales tax using the state TAVT (Title Ad Valorem Tax) system. As of 2025, the current TAVT rate is 7% of the fair market value or sale price—whichever is higher. Having an accurate RV bill of sale Georgia template prevents the DOR from assessing tax on NADA “high” value instead of your actual lower negotiated price.

| Section | What to Enter | Pro Tip from 12+ Years Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer & Seller Info | Full legal names, addresses, phone | Use the name exactly as it appears on driver’s license |
| Vehicle Description | Year, Make, Model, VIN, Length, # of Slides | Copy VIN directly from title – one wrong digit voids everything |
| Purchase Price | Actual dollars paid | Never put $1 or $10 to “avoid taxes” – IRS and state DOR share data |
| “As-Is” Clause | Leave checked unless giving written warranty | 99% of private sales are as-is; removes post-sale liability |
| Odometer (Motorhomes) | Current mileage if Class A/B/C | Federal law requires odometer disclosure on vehicles under 16,000 lbs GVWR |
| Signatures | Hand-signed (blue ink preferred) | Notarize only if your state requires (GA & FL usually do NOT for private RV sales) |
Many clients ask me: “Is a free RV purchase agreement form different from a bill of sale?”
Yes. A full purchase agreement is 5–15 pages and includes contingencies (financing, inspection, etc.). A bill of sale is usually 1–2 pages and simply documents that money changed hands and ownership transferred.
For 95% of private-party camper and RV sales, the simple camper bill of sale template above is all you need plus the title.
Do I need to notarize a camper bill of sale in Georgia?
No. Georgia does not require notarization for private RV or camper sales (2025).
Can I use this template as a bill of sale for RV in Florida?
Yes – it contains all required Florida fields and is accepted statewide.
What if the camper has a lien?
The lienholder must sign off on the title. Never accept only a bill of sale if a bank still holds the title.
Is a bill of sale enough to register my new RV?
Usually yes when combined with the signed title, proof of insurance, and emissions (if applicable).
