Get or make a Bill of Sale, and keep it and the signed-over-to-you
title in the van with you. Call your insurance company and insure the
Westy as soon as you get it, and make sure you have your policy number
in the van, too.
That should be enough if you're pulled over.
If you can, get the seller to leave their CO plates on the van for the
trip home, and then mail them back, if they even want them.
This all is what I did to get my van from CA to CO. No probs.
