  1. 1

    Enter seller and buyer information

    Record Camper details and VIN

    Enter the year, make, model, body style, color, and the 17-character VIN exactly as printed on the dashboard (visible through the windshield) or door jamb sticker. The VIN must match the vehicle title exactly.

  3. 3

    Record sale price, date, and payment method

    Write the agreed sale price in both numeral form ($12,500.00) and written form (twelve thousand five hundred dollars). Enter the exact date of the sale — this date triggers the Tennessee title transfer requirement. Note payment method: cash, check, or other.
