Perhaps the same scammer as "Kevcofman" - 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.
They only want to be contacted by email or text. Usually they will claim to be overseas 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+).
They want you to use "eBay (or Amazon) buyer protection" and will send a link to a fake eBay/Amazon page.
The scam craigslist ad will probably have one or more of the following features:
A lot of white space below the main text;
Superfluous text at the bottom having nothing to do with the ad (probably copy/pasted from a random Wikipedia article); Random words/letters/characters 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.

From Scamguard: "The seller represented a used camping trailer for sale at a discounted price. Originally was on Craigslist in Nebraska, also said it was on eBay, it was not, the guy wanted cash wired to his address: Derek Hudson, 2168 Cleary Rd. , Florence MS 39073. He had posed as an Air Force officer that had to move to another base...Suspected stolen identity of Todd A Hohn"
Hi again,
As I've told you, at this moment I am in Offutt AFB, Nebraska I do a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or call whenever I want.I am only allowed to check my email several time a day. Hope you can understand. The reason I'm selling this camper way below market value is because don't have time for negotiations and I need money before May 11 for my next house in Anchorage. The camper is already at our Offutt Air Force Base Library form Offutt AFB, NE ready to go. Like I already said, the delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can move forward with this transaction.
