Odometer disclosure

Federal and state law require you to state the mileage upon transfer of ownership. Failure to complete or providing a false statement may result in fines and/or imprisonment. I, the Seller, state that the odometer now reads ____________ miles and to the best of my knowledge it reflects:

☒ the actual mileage☐ mileage in excess of its mechanical limits☐ not the actual mileage (warning: odometer discrepancy)

Terms

The Seller states that they are the lawful owner, that the recreational vehicle is free of all liens, loans and encumbrances, and that they have the right to sell it.
