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.

She is "selling" BMW. She wants to make a deal via ebay.
