Is a title required for the sale of a small travel trailer?

Most states require that all trailers, of any size, have current licenses and registration. Some states do not require titling of certain trailers and vehicles, but it is generally a good idea to exercise a bill of sale, or a title exchange, for all property transactions.

For specific state requirements the Department of Motor Vehicles, the seller should consult the state in question. Failure to title a travel trailer in a state that requires it can result in a penalty or fine. To title a trailer the state DMV generally requires proof of ownership, such as a signed title or bill or sale, personal property tax receipts and, in some states, proof of insurance
