You are right, that is a pretty good idea to cover the build tag sticker in case the paperwork is gone.

Your case was a missing bill of sale, but I could see that covered build tag sticker being helpful if kids or grandkids were taking over a family rig as part of an estate.

My mom has a 1966 popup that is still titled and with tags, but my brother is the one keeping up the tags as my mom in no shape to deal with it - just going to the store is a challenge, much less dealing with DMV. It could be given to someone in the family easily as all the paperwork is in one place. But, if he wasn't there to do that, I would be at a loss to find her paperwork.
