yep, refusing to buy a RV with an outstanding loan will limit your purchases to something 15 years old or extremely cheap.
but bad advice is worse than no advice at all.

In FL, no title no tag. When we moved to FL one of our cars and the MH still had bank loans. We gave the loan/bank info to FL (DMV) and they sent away for the title. Once received, they called me and then I could get plates. Expect 3-8 weeks. Until then, I used my old plates as they were several months from expiring. Otherwise FL would have issued me paper tags (for a fee).

Soundguy, I understand your position on buying a financed RV. However as one o/p stated the banks have excellent systems between them for handling that kind of transaction. When you buy a car, the dealer probably does not own it, a bank or financial institution does. Your bank will make all the arrangements to get the title in their name and yours. Getting it thoroughly checked out prior to the sale, I absolutely agree with.

So lets say I just bought a brand new RV that cost $500,000.00 and financed 50 percent of the cost. Then due to some unfortunate circumstances 6 months later I had to sell it at a fire sale price, and all wanted was to pay off the loan, but I didn't have the money to pay it off. I guess your advice would be to miss out on a smoking hot deal.

I wouldn't purchase any type of vehicle that didn't have a clear title in the name of the owner but still had a lien against it. If the current owner has a loan against the rig then that's his problem to first pay it off so he can then provide any potential purchaser with documentation proving any lien against it has been cleared. How you later fund the purchase, cash or otherwise, is your problem. Secondly, I'd also insist on 3rd party inspection, negotiating who pays for that inspection - seller or buyer - regardless, it would be foolish to buy something as complicated as a MH and not have it fully inspected.
