What decides the ownership of real property such as a vehicle is the way the title is worded. If the names on the title of the vehicle are separated by the word "and" each party owns an equal share of the vehicle and both have to agree on any action taken. If the names are separated by the word "or" both parties have sole ownership rights and either one can take action without the permission of the other. Nevertheless, one party cannot have the use of the vehicle while the other one pays the financial obligation unless it pertains to a married couple or the involved parties have agreed on such an arrangement. Unfortunately situations such as cited quite often end up in litigation.

How can you make a salvage title clean on a fifth wheel in Iowa?
You cant make a salvage title clean in any state. Once it has salvage on it, it can not be reversed.
What if you bought a car and thought it had a clean title then found out it had a salvaged title?
Depends if the seller was fraudulent intentionally. Did he give you a clean title at the time of sale? If so, you may have some recourse if the car was totaled/salvaged under his/her name.
If you bought from a licensed dealer there MAY be some recourse if it was proven or known to be salvage when (s)he sold it to you. If it's a private party sale, cars are sold as-is unless you were given a false title knowingly - an old seller's trick when a car is totaled is to immediately apply for a lost title replacement. Now the seller has two clean titles in hand, just in case he needs to surrender one for insurance purposes when he receives a cash payout for a total but decides to keep the car. He can then fix it cheaply and sell it for a good profit since he has another clean title in hand. If (s)he presented you a clean title at time of sale this is also known as FRAUD, so you can can pursue legal action or demand a refund but it's gonna require time and effort to prove. Good luck!
Before you buy a used car always submit the VIN to the state DMV to make sure the title is clean and NEVER buy a car that is not currently titled to the state you live in (there are ways to "titlewash" cars from state to state). Doing a Carfax is a good idea, too! It's always 'buyer beware' when you buy a used car and you may have gotten taken.

How long does a dealer have to give buyer the title?
A dealer will give you a dealers report of sale, which you then take to the DMV for registration purposes. The state will mail you a title with your name on it, but only when the car is paid off. If they hand you a title at the dealer it is an unreported sale and not allowed, you wont be in trouble but they can be.
The above statement is most likely true, IF you live in the same state as the person who answered you. The way titles are handled varies from state to state. Here is how things are handled here in Wisconsin.
The person who purchases / signs for the vehicle is given the title, regardless of how it was financed. If you get a loan for the car, the title will not only have your name on it, but also the bank/credit union/lender you received the loan from. This is known as a lien. When you have paid off the loan, the lender will either send you or give you a "lien release card," which you can just keep with your title, or they will stamp the title "PAID." If you get a loan release card (most common,) you can simply paperclip it to your title, and it's the same thing as if your title was "clean." If you prefer to have the lender's name removed from the title, you must either visit a DMV Service Center (instant, but for a fee), or send in the title and the release card to the DMV (up to 6 weeks, but free.) If they stamp the title, it must have the name of the financial institution (lender) that you got the loan from, the lien release date, the signature of the person who stamped it, and their position with the company.
It depends upon the wording of the title. If the names on the title are separated by the word "or" then each person owns the vehicle separately and may take whatever action without the consent of the other owner. If the names on the title are separated by the word "and" then any action concerning the vehicle, sale, possession, etc. must be agreed upon by both parties. Although the law generally assumes that the person who is in possession of the vehicle can remain so unless a court rules otherwise. Disputes over jointly owned vehicles by unmarried persons almost always ends up in litigation if the injured party wishes to recover the vehicle or financial damages incurred because of the situation.
They charged off the the loan on the vehicle as a bad debt. They did not actually own the vehicle, you cannot charge anyone storage fees for defaulting on a loan. They will only send you the title when you settle the debt. If at all.
