How to Sell an RV Privately in Wyoming — 8 Steps
- 1Locate the chassis VIN — on motorhomes (Class A, B, C) the 17-character chassis VIN is on the cab door jamb, dashboard, or driver-side windshield. Wyoming titles the RV by chassis VIN, so this is the number that goes on every bill of sale.
- 2Record the coach serial — on motorhomes there's a second number on the coach builder's data plate (inside a cabinet door, near the entry steps, or in a basement bay). Note it alongside the chassis VIN on the bill of sale. Towable RVs (travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups) only have one VIN, usually on the tongue or front A-frame.
- 3Clear any liens — if the RV was financed, request a payoff quote and lien release letter. Wyoming uses MV Title (lien section).
- 4Gather documentation — clean Wyoming title (no liens), current registration card, RV maintenance records, manufacturer's owner's manual, appliance/slide-out service records, and tow capacity documentation for towables.
- 5Price the RV — check NADA RV Guides, RV Trader comps, and recent Wyoming dealer sold prices. Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels, and Class B vans hold value differently — factor in mileage on motorhomes and slide-out/appliance condition on all classes.
- 6Complete the bill of sale — chassis VIN, coach serial (if motorhome), year/make/model, length, RV class (A/B/C/travel trailer/fifth wheel/etc.), sale price, sale date, and both parties' full legal names and addresses.
- 7Sign the title — endorse the back of the Wyoming title with buyer info, odometer reading (motorhomes only), and sale date. Wyoming requires odometer disclosure for motorhomes under 15 years old.
- 8Notify Wyoming DMV — buyer must title and register within 30 days of the sale. Seller files release of liability with Wyoming DMV to remove future ticket/toll liability. Out-of-state RVs may require a VIN inspection — schedule with Wyoming DMV.
Wyoming lien release procedure
- Lienholder completes the lien release section on the back of the existing Wyoming title.
- Owner submits the released title and title application at a county clerk's office.
- Pay the title fee and receive a clean Wyoming title.
Selling a travel trailer or fifth wheel
Towable RVs (travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups, toy haulers) are titled as trailers in Wyoming, not as motorhomes — no chassis VIN, no odometer. The single VIN is on the tongue or front A-frame. If the trailer was sold with a tow vehicle as part of one transaction, prepare two bills of sale (one for the trailer, one for the tow vehicle) so each title transfers cleanly with Wyoming DMV.

Yes. Wyoming requires a written bill of sale for private RV transfers to document the chassis VIN, coach serial number, year/make/model, sale price, and both parties' signatures.

Motorhomes (Class A, B, C) have two identifying numbers — the chassis VIN (on the cab door jamb, same place as a passenger truck VIN) and a coach serial number (on the coach builder's data plate, usually inside a cabinet door). Wyoming titles motorhomes by chassis VIN; record both numbers on the bill of sale to remove buyer confusion.
