Some states have a "drive away" tag. I think NC does, and I think you can take it to another state and drive back.
Other states have temporary tags, but some only allow them to be issued by dealers.
I called Georgia and asked what the right thing to do was. They had no answer. FL, NC, and AL had better answers, as I recall.
I got (un)lucky and my coach rode a Landoll into Georgia, where I'm in the process of getting it a T-22B VIN verification form from 200 miles away (requiring assistance from local LEO), before I can register it properly in my county. Silly rigamarole.

I left the Florida plate on it, and carried the bill of sale and signed Florida title with me. Good for seven days in Georgia.

Each state has their own rules. You need to follow the rule where you bought the vehicle or your residence. (Your presumed ending point.) The states between are supposed honour the laws of the states you are starting from or ending at. Your results may vary.
I just did a recovery... Utah has a cheap "one time only" travel permit that gives you a few days (I think 5) to get out of state. The DMV offices there are closed on Friday, and the permit starts when issued. The coach wasn't ready to leave on Thrusday, I wasn't ready to going to wait until Monday... Then it took longer than expected to get home, I ended up travelling with an expired out of state travel permit. (The towd kinda hid the fact that there wasn't a rear plate.)
Most Insurance will cover a "replacement" vehicle under your current policy for a short time. Talk to your agent. (Doesn't help if you are not "replacing" a motorhome.)

You follow the rules in the last state where the vehicle was registered or titled. The rules vary from state to state.
Examples.
In Michigan you drive the vehicle from the place of purchase to the new owners location by the most practical direct route with no tags.
In Indiana you must get a temporary cardboard plate to move it in or out of state. I think the cardboard plate is good for 30 days
In California the plates stay on the vehicle and are good for transport if they are current.
In Utah when I called the state police gave me their number and a troopers name. He said just have them call me from in or out of state if you have a problem. But if you bring an outof state vehicle through Utah you must stop at the first scale and declare you are moving an unregistered vehicle. The one time I did stop they checked my bill of sale which was from Michigan and said that Michigan did not require a plate. "You can go and have a nice trip"
In all cases they require proof of Insurance and a copy of the Bill of Sale.
Call the state where it came from to determine exactly what you need. All other states are required to meet the the last registered state's rules.

As you found out, in the Peoples Republic there is a temp permit available to drive an out of license vehicle out of state. If it is in license just get insurance and drive it away.
In Indiana you can transfer an existing license to a replacement vehicle. You have 30 days to do so. Many people take their existing plate and stick it on a just acquired vehicle. If they get stopped they produce a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and say this is a replacement vehicle. The same thing goes for insurance. I have 30 days to notify them of a replacement vehicle.
As I said before every state handles it differently. You must go by the rules of the state where the vehicle was last titled or licensed.
