I live in WV and have purchased RVs in VA and PA. In both cases, the dealer took care of the registration. Generally works that way for vehicles too.
A very good point. Registration proceedures may not only be different from state to state but also back east where the states are more populated and more likely people would buy in other states. I would check the local proceedures in your home state and the state where you plan on buying the TT.

I did it years ago with a pup I bought off of my uncle. Had to take it from WV to VA. Went to the state police baracks in WV and got a transport permit. Had to take off work so I could get there when the barracks were open. When I went to the DMV in VA to do the paperwork, they informed me if I had contacted them ahead of time they would have given me a 15 day temporary tag.
So I would check with the DMV at both the origination and the destination and see what they can do for you.

If it's a private purchase and you buy in Oregon, you can simply go to any Oregon State DMV office and buy an RV Temporary Trip Permit that's good for up to ten days.
Being a new/out-of-state owner isn't a problem, and the permit will make the tow legal in every State you pass through on your way home.

The dealer should give you temps. We bought the last two TTs out of state and got a temp plate both times. When you get home, pay the tax and reg at your DMV.

You mention a NEW TT so I'll assume you will be buying from a dealer.
This is what I found for cars. I'd image the rules are similar for trailers.
The Oregon dealer will issue a 21 day Dealer Trip Permit Form 735-
306 may be issued to a buyer who needs to use the vehicle on highways to leave the state.

Best answer would come from an Oregon RV dealer.

As others have noted, check with the state you are from, driving through &, of course, your home state. For example, My brother living in MA purchased a vehicle from me (NY) and had to register the vehicle in MA prior to entering MA. Seems that MA does not recognize NY temporary plates and will ticket drivers for an unregistered vehicle.
Quote from NY's DMV website: "Important information for Massachusetts residents: Massachusetts (MA) does not recognize the NYS in-transit permit. According to the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles, you can receive a ticket for no registration if you use an NYS in-transit permit in MA. This also makes the insurance on the vehicle not valid. MA authorities can impound the vehicle for no valid insurance. For more information, contact the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles ."

Interesting.
5 years ago, I bought the Roadtrek that's in my sig from a private owner in MA.
I live in Virginia. Virginia DMV will let you purchase over the internet a temporary transit permit. You must supply the Vin#. You have 5 or 10 days, don't remember now, to bring the vehicle back to Virginia.
Glad I wasn't stopped in MA on the way out.
As for TT's, I assume the DMV deal for transit permits is available for them also.

Sounds like the dealers in MA lobbied hard for this one to discourage people from buying out of state.
