there is nothing that OP posted that would indicate that he had any knowledge the neighbor was operating a non-licensed business.

However, I would like to know who handled the title transfers. The neighbor was obtaining these RVs. Was he buying them or acting as an agent for the owners? Did he purchase them, title them in his own name and then sell them for profit? Was he jumping titles? And what did OP know of all this?
Ay, there's the rub.

I have bought and sold a considerable amount of cars in the past 40 years. I have often jumped titles and skirted dealer licensing laws. For the volume of vehicles sold by the OP for 25% of the profit I don't believe for a minute that he didn't know and wasn't complicit in something illegal. For the moment I'm sticking to illegal purpose making the contract unenforceable but I'm willing to wait and see how the OP fares in small claims court.
