RV & Camper Bill of Sale Template (Canada)

Quebec is different — this isn't the right document there

Quebec does not use a "bill of sale" as a concept the way the rest of Canada does. A private vehicle sale in Quebec is instead documented as a contrat de vente (or acte de vente) — a French-language sale contract with its own conventions, distinct from a bill of sale in structure and terminology, not just in translation. If the vehicle is being sold in Quebec, this template isn't the right starting point.

Ontario: the bill of sale is part of a bigger package

In Ontario, private used-vehicle sales go through a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP), which the seller obtains and gives to the buyer, and the bill-of-sale details (price, date, parties) are typically completed as part of the vehicle permit transfer process rather than as a fully separate document. This template's content still applies to what actually needs to be recorded — check Ontario's current transfer process for exactly how it fits together with the UVIP.

Motorhome or towed trailer — the vehicle matters

A motorhome is self-propelled and has an odometer; a towed travel trailer or camper has neither. This template asks which one you're selling so the odometer section only appears where it's actually relevant.

The clauses, explained

Parties and vehicle type

Identifies the seller and buyer, and whether the vehicle is a self-propelled motorhome or a towed travel trailer/camper.

Vehicle description

Year, make, model and VIN. For a motorhome, the odometer reading is also recorded.

Price and payment

The sale price and how it's being paid.

Odometer reading (motorhomes)

Records the current mileage — relevant only for self-propelled vehicles.

Sold as-is

States the vehicle is sold in its current condition with no warranties beyond what's expressly stated, standard for a private sale.

Requirements checklist

• Quebec uses a different instrument entirely

  Private vehicle sales in Quebec are documented as a contrat de vente / acte de vente, not a bill of sale — do not use this template if the sale is in Quebec.

• Ontario's Used Vehicle Information Package

  Private sales in Ontario go through the UVIP process alongside the vehicle permit transfer — check the current provincial process for how the bill of sale fits with it.

How to use this template

1. Confirm your province. If the sale is in Quebec, use a contrat de vente instead — this template is for the rest of Canada.
2. Choose the vehicle type. Set Type in the vehicle details to motorhome or travel trailer/camper — the document swaps in the right odometer section for your choice.
3. Fill in the parties and vehicle. Type the seller's and buyer's details and the vehicle's year, make, model and VIN into the highlighted blanks.
4. Enter the price and, for a motorhome, the odometer reading. Fill in the sale price and payment method, and the current mileage if it's a motorhome.
5. Sign, download and complete your province's process. Both parties sign on the signature lines, then download the document as a Word or PDF file and complete any additional provincial requirements — such as Ontario's UVIP — alongside it.
