If the camper carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released.

Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.
Obtain Form TR-720 from the Kansas Division of Vehicles or the lienholder.
Lienholder completes and signs TR-720 releasing the lien.
Submit TR-720 with the existing title and title application at a county treasurer's office.
Pay the title fee and receive a clean Kansas title.
