Pay Sales Tax In Two States?
I'll try and make this short. I live in West Virginia and want to buy a used RV from a private party in Florida. If I want an "in-transit" tag from Florida to drive the RV back to WV, I have to pay FL...

Virginia is $220 (and Virginia State Police are known for their leniency... right?)
OP, I don't think I would risk that on the keyboard lawyers here. If it is ILLEGAL to drive an unregistered motor vehicle in these states, do you really think that the cop will simply let you drive off after getting your tickets? Again, that's assuming you aren't ARRESTED in Florida. No, the cops aren't going to let you continue to drive illegally, because they are assuming your liability if they knowingly allow you to drive illegally. They will tow your vehicle (also called in IMPOUND) until you can provide proof of registration. Again... it should be pretty hard to register your vehicle in West Virginia without some sort of physical inspection... which you won't be able to do if your motorhome is held by the police in another state.
Good luck. Now you see why people pay good money for an ACTUAL ATTORNEY, not a clown on the internet. And you can see how people can rack up huge fines and punishments for traffic violations...
I see the sky has completely fallen...
I feel so bad for the OP because now he must either hire an attorney or face being locked up in a jail cell with a gang-tatted murderer while his new-to-him RV is being meticulously stripped down to the frame by DEA agents.
I'll get on the road today and count a dozen people without tags before I make it out of town. Imagine what a great business that would be if they all got fined $500, 60 days in jail and 6 months probation.
I don't think I've ever read so much hysteria over nothing on this forum until today.
