This is another scammer posting fake ads for RVs/campers on craigslist and other ad sites.
These vehicle scammers will usually claim that a "shipper" or "mover" will drive the RV/camper to you, if you send payment first - and they will only accept payment through Amazon Pay, ApplePay/iTunes cards (or other gift cards), wire transfer (Western Union, Moneygram) reloadable card (Vanilla, Green Dot/Moneypak) - untraceable payment methods which are like sending cash and cannot be reversed. Or they want you to go to a fake "eBay buyer protection" page.
They only want to be contacted by email or text. Usually they will claim to be overseas (or about to be deployed) in the military, or on an oil rig (coming up with any excuse to avoid meeting you - the scammer is likely in another country), or will tell you a sob story about the RV's owner having just died. The price they quote is far lower than its book value ($2000-4000 for an RV that usually sells at over $20,000+).
The scam craigslist ad will probably have one or more of the following features:
A lot of white space below the photos and main text (you have to do plenty of scrolling to get to the bottom of the page);
Superfluous text at the bottom having nothing to do with the ad (copy/pasted from other CL ads or a random Wikipedia article);
Random words/letters/characters (or aLtErNaTiNg cApS) added to the subject line;
An email address (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or other free email) or phone number (not a number of an established dealer) on the photo of the RV/camper.
The photo of the RV is squeezed, stretched, or skewed at an angle.
Never send money for any vehicle (RV, car, truck, motorcycle, boat) without inspecting it in person! If the seller cannot meet you in person, he may well be a scammer.
