I am an attorney, .....And thirdly, just drive your vehicle and the trailer home with the seller's Florida license plate. NO one will question the Florida license plate, and it is not probable cause for an officer to stop you. Unless you have an accident and the police question the different state license plates ...

That is all a cop needs to see if you are stopped.
They will let you go on your merry way providing you aren't an escaped convict, that your registration/drivers license are all up to date and it is not 6 months after the date of the bill of sale! :W
NO... I cannot say no loud enough. This is poor advice. Driving an unregistered vehicle is illegal in every state and opens you up to a citation and impoundment of the vehicle. Towing a trailer is expensive. Then the OP won't be able to provide ownership until he gets the new title in WV, which he likely won't be able to get without a physical inspection of the trailer in WV.
Check the laws in the state of Florida. In Maryland, for example, you can purchase a vehicle and drive on the previous owners tags (assuming the tags are still valid) for up to 7 days if the buyer has written permission from the seller.
Trust me... the OP wants to have valid tags and insurance on the vehicle before he tows it.

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 6% tax, equal to the WV tax, to get that tag. When I title the RV in WV I would have to pay the 6% tax again because WV will not give me credit for paying the tax in FL. 12% is more than I want to pay.
So, the question is, can I pay the owner for the RV and have them sign the title over to me and just get out of state and skip the tag?
BTW, the owner is willing to leave their FL plate and insurance on the RV until I get back to WV.
Don't be driving with someone else's plate and insurance. It will not cover you if the RV no longer belongs to them.
Call your local motor vehicle registration and ask how is the best way to handle it. Then call your agent and ask how to handle the insurance.
What I would do is call my agent for insurance immediately after purchase, and travel with a valid bill of sale. But that might not work for your state to get registration or for your insurance.

as a seller I would not leave my plate on. However as a buyer if the seller is willing to leave the plate on I don't see an issue
