Many states require trailers to be titled and registered separately from the towing vehicle once they exceed a weight threshold (commonly 1,000–3,000 lbs GVWR). If your trailer has a title, complete the title transfer. If it does not (because it is below the threshold), a bill of sale is the primary ownership document.

What to include in your bill of sale

  • Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
  • Camper make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
  • Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
  • Any trailer sold separately-specific disclosures required in Nebraska.

If your trailer has a title, complete the title transfer. If it does not (because it is below the threshold), a bill of sale is the primary ownership document.

Buyer guidance

Confirm whether the trailer is titled in your state and whether the seller has the title. If moving the trailer across state lines, check the destination state's titling threshold — you may need to obtain a title even if the selling state did not require one. Verify the VIN or HIN plate on the trailer matches the title or documentation.
