No there are lots of scams on there for RV's, and if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
Similar have popped up on the autotrader the last few months. My brother is looking for a vehicle, found one that is priced ridiculously low, and long story short, when contacting the person (who's only contact is an email address they ask you to reply to) almost an automated response comes back, not specifically answering the questions posed, rather just stating (the owner is supposedly in the military) the car is a US car, currently in the UK, and is coming back to Canada "soon".
Clearly some variation of the Nigerian scams, where you wire money over there for the purchase, with the rest payable when it arrives. Then, an email pops up to have to wire more for it to clear customs for $600. Then shipping costs more and has to be paid up front, so add $1100. Then modifications have to be done, so wire another $1400.
As for the RV's, who knows, but likely similar.
