#rvlife #fulltimervliving #AmericasMailbox
Thank you for the info we are going full time and I have been looking at several different services for mail this is a top contender.
You are so welcome. Americas Mailbox is the only service we have found in our research that offers one stop shopping for address, mail, vehicle registration, insurance and more. Don't forget to mention our name to get $10 in free postage in your account.
you probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last months =)
@Jayceon Julien yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
Loved the interview with America's Mailbox. Many youtube content creators have covered this topic but yours was very thorough and gave me a much better feel for how it worked. Thank you again.
Hi Cindy! You are so welcome! We really wanted to make a thorough video as we know this can be a confusing topic- glad it helped! We do believe Americas Mailbox is the best answer when working out the logistics of fulltime RV life.
Love the wide range of topics you cover in your vlogs and I must admit this week’s vlog answered a lot of questions. Don’t plan on going full-time but it’s nice to have someone address a variety of topics that are of interest to most of us who follow your channel. Keep all that great content coming. Stay safe out there.
Awww, thanks so much Mary Jane! We definitely wanted to make this video to answer a lot of the questions we get asked about full time RV life. We have been with Americas Mailbox for two years and truly believe they are the best out there! Thanks again for your kind words!!
Great information! Thanks for steering us in the right direction.
You are so welcome. We think it's difficult to figure out the logistics of full time RV life! After two years with Americas Mailbox we can tell you with certainty there's not a better service out there! If you decide to go with them, be sure to tell them we sent you so you can get your free $10!
Well done , tons of great info. Thanks for doing all that legwork !
Thanks so much! We know this is tricky subject for many- can be so daunting. Glad we could help! We do believe that Americas Mailbox is the solution for anyone living on the road.
I have found your YT videos very informative. I'm about 1 year out from retiring and going Full time RV'ing. This video was a big help.
Awww, thanks so much for letting us know, Don! We are so glad to have you on the A-Team!
Wow! Tons of information. I didn’t even know how to begin with this subject. Thank you so much😊
You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful! Yep, we packed a lot of information in there! We do believe Americas Mailbox is the best answer to deal with mail, vehicle registration, and everything else if you live on the road.
What a score to get this interview! I’ve watched lots of videos but this is the best because of the direct interview/information! Thank you so much!
Yes! Thanks so much for appreciating this. Paul and I think it's one of our best videos as far as info, we are so glad you liked it!
Great video and very informative for sure!! I have a long time to go before we are full time but I am doing research all the time! Thanks again...
Great, Chip! Thanks for watching. Good for you for doing the research. There really are a lot of pieces to the puzzle of becoming a full time RVer. Happy planning to you and Paul and I look forward to seeing you on the road someday!
Other RV CZcamsrs is Eric from Nomadic Fanatic, and Robin from Creativity RV have used a service for years that forwards mail to you on the road called Escapees. Hope that helps.
We like Escapees but the problem with their mail forwarding service is that it's only for Texas and Florida, two very expensive states for insurance. Texas requires you to get your vehicles inspected every year so you have to plan a return visit each year around their inspection schedule. As you'll see from our video, South Dakota is the cheapest state in which to domicile- by far!! And while it appears at first glance that Escapees does have a South Dakota address option, they really don't. When you watch the video, you'll see all the reasons why we like Americas Mailbox, there really is no comparison!
@@LizAmazing Yes, you have to be very strategic! Things change so much. We opted to have homesteads of recreational land that we purchased as back-up for boondocking in N. NV and FL. The NV homestead is our primary residence. We found it one on www.classiccountryland.com and the other on www.eleven24holdings.com/. Helped alot during the last year. Thanks for reporting and sharing all your experiences. Cheers,
@@charlotterohde7383 Thanks for the links. We will keep those. Our current thinking is to travel 9 months out of the year so it would be nice to have a place to fall back on.
@@LizAmazing Yes, the great thing is that undeveloped land often has low property tax. Two other sources are www.thefarmfinders.com/property/ and
bearlandproperty.com
that friends have used. We always checked out the properties with the town's accessors office's map and data and acrevalue.com to view property boundaries. We like low maintenance natural land that we would just fence in to avoid intruders. Also we confirmed no more than half an hour to medical and pharmacies, and checked crime rates. We picked NV as our primary residence since their is no income tax there and low insurance too. It is snowing there now, so we have the FL homestead for winter. Hope that helps. Best,
Thank you. Wonderful information.
Thank you, Brook. We really can't say enough good things about Americas Mailbox! Thanks for watching and see you in our latest video here: czcams.com/video/iP5Xlb6awVo/video.html
Great info - thank you. I had no idea about SD and I love it there. Good to know.
Yeah, it's the best kept secret for sure! My health insurance was already cheap when I had it registered in Kentucky. It went down nearly half when I moved it to South Dakota!
Thanks for all the great information.
You are so welcome! We have been with Americas Mailbox for two years and highly recommend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow. There service sounds awesome! And it looks very affordable too👍
It truly is. Americas Mailbox also took care of transferring our camper title to South Dakota- all done remotely. We are very pleased!
Good to know,thanks.
Thank you! We love Americas Mailbox, they make RV life so much simpler!
Wow you two!!! Every time we turn around you guys offer us a video that is one step ahead of what we just talked about. We could not be more delighted to see a video like this as we explore this next money saving tip for our full-time rv life!!
Yay! So glad this video helped! After two years on the road, we can say with certainty that Americas Mailbox is the way to go. They help with just about EVERYTHING! Thanks so much for your kind words!
Good info. I always wondered about the logistics. I always thought I was going to have to trust a family member. Now I can do it another way. Thx for sharing.
You are so welcome! We know a lot of people thinking about RV living full time get stuck on the logistics. We've been with Americas Mailbox for two years and are very pleased. If/when you sign up, remember to mention our name to get your free $10 in postage. Looking forward to seeing you on the road!
Excellent information! Thank you so much for doing this. We are only out 6 months per year.
That's perfect - Americas Mailbox may be a good fit for you as you can turn it on and off. Hope to see you on the road!
Our friends already use America's Mailbox and we'll be full time next year and will be headed to SD!!
Florida does the same thing with the vehicle sales tax when it comes to trading in a vehicle. This was all very good information. We have always lived in Florida so if we hit the road we will just keep all of our stuff!
Sounds good! Hope to see you on the road someday!
I don’t see my wife and I ever becoming full time RVers but that was very informative. I always wondered how that worked.
Yep! Thank you for watching. We want to keep providing good content for people who are thinking about it, or just are curious. Be safe Warren and hope to see you and your wife out here perhaps on a weekend.
Excellent information!!
Thanks so much! We really wanted to put an informative video answering some of the common questions about RV life. We get asked almost every week how do we get our mail, vote, etc. Thanks for watching!
Quite honestly, these services are available from many vendors. Back in the 2000's our service, St. Brendan's Isle, offered these services. E.g. we viewed on-line, asked for a scan and received an IRS letter while our boat was moored in Malta, in the Med. We arranged a USPS delivery of boat parts and mail while anchored in Pago Pago, American Samoa. One suggestion you didn't mention: Along with pricing services you want across multiple vendors, consider picking one that is geographically near where you will likely return on occasion. There are a variety of reasons why occasional face-to-face access to the vendor is helpful. This is why Florida, a popular winter destination, has multiple vendors.
There are a lot of mail forwarders. Americas Mailbox does that and so much more. We love that they'll take care of vehicle registration, for example. It's true that you may need to visit your domicile in person every now and then so that's a good point. Neither one of us had any relation to South Dakota but the insurance savings are HUGE! Besides saving on our vehicles, I saved 40% off my monthly health insurance. Florida has residency requirements, which we see as a big drawback, as well as high insurance rates.
Hi Liz, we are in the process of getting on the road full time. After watching your video and hearing Bob say that South Dakota had lower insurance than a lot of other states we decided to register our new truck in South Dakota with America's Mailboxes help. I should gotten the insurance quote prior to the truck purchase because the quote for our truck and RV were DOUBLE in SD than what I pay with my Virginia policy. Now we are in limbo trying to get the title back from South Dakota to register in VA. *** I advise anyone considering registering their vehicles and RV in South Dakota just to save money to get a quote BEFORE the purchase or starting the switch. Bob didn't specifically saying VA was lower but I just assumed by his presentation it had to be lower than the busy Commons of Virginia.
Oh no. So sorry to hear this. Great advice to get a quote before making the switch.
Great video we were wondering how do do this when as we get closer to full time Rving thank you on the info!!!
Yay! Sounds like you are counting down the days. We look forward to seeing you out here!
Great information. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome. We know it's not easy to figure this out with so many things to think about!
Wonderful information! Thank you!!🙌
So glad it was helpful, Mary! Getting mail on the road is the number one thing people who want to be full time RVers ask us about! Hope to see you out here!
Liz Amazing ...so right! And wondering where to call home. I hope to get out very soon...hubs hasn’t retired yet.😩
@@marydonaldson6139 Tell him to hurry up! ;-)
Very cool I wondered how you did that nice job 👍
Thanks so much Brian! The HiBoost really is a game changer!
Wow! Wonderful information... and a very well put together video! "Liz is Amazing" :)
Awww, thanks so much! We really wanted to put together a video that helps people navigate the maze of things to think about when beginning full time RV life! Hope to see you out here.
Great info!! Thanks guys🤗
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We love Americas Mailbox and think they are the only choice for fulltime RVers. Glad to see you this week and we look forward to seeing you next time!
@@LizAmazing Will be looking forward to your & Paul’s next vlog! Having freezing temps here in Ky this weekend, the leaves are absolutely gorgeous🍁🍂🤗
@@lisamcgrath3132 I miss Kentucky so much!!! We look forward to being there! Enjoy those leaves! And hot chocolate...fires...boots...scarves! :-D
Getting set up for fulltime RV life can be challenging. Let us know any questions you may have!
And we love Americas Mailbox. We have been using them for two years and know that they help solve a big piece of the puzzle. We look forward to seeing you out here!
Yes! As we say in the video, you do need to have your drivers license first. In our case, we just went online to South Dakota's website and printed off an absentee ballot application. We mailed that in and very quickly received our ballots. Happy voting to you!
lol! No worries at all. I realize we didn't explain it as thoroughly as we could have, about having to print off an absentee ballot first. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My wife and I have decided to pull the trigger and go full-time by the end of the year. My question is, with this video being almost 2 years old do you still recommend America's Mailbox? I will continue with our research as we transition to full-time and want to thank you for a great video on a very important topic. We decided at the start of 2022 to dedicate this spring through fall to camping and being camp hosts here in NE Ohio to see if we would really like it; to simulate being full-timers even though I still work full-time. Anwser is, heck ya. Love it out here. Again thanks for the videos.
Hi Rick! Yes, the answer is yes. We like Americas Mailbox even more as the time goes on. They do an excellent job taking care of everything. Best of luck to you and looking forward to seeing you on the road!
Great video guys, If I was a full timer I would sign up for the service. Safe Travels!! ✌
Yes. Americas Mailbox really are the #1 choice for full time RVers. We get asked how do we do this life ALL the time! Glad to finally answer those burning questions!
We've been using Americas Mailbox for over a year and a half now.
Yay! So we're neighbors then, right?
Wow, that was a great, informative video. Top Drawer. Thanks, bill in Florida
Hi Bill! Thanks so much! We know this can be complicated and hope our video helps with all the planning. And hi to Florida- I went to Clearwater High.
u guys are the best
Thanks again Bruce, we are so glad to have you with us.
This is fantastic content you guys and we never knew about the South Dakota residency requirements. Seems pretty easy and like a great option while full time RV living. Renee and I have been maintaining residency in Pennsylvania thus far because Renee's family live back there and most of our belongings from our old home are there. However these are some really great considerations for future possibilities. Very informative video, thank you for the information 😊 - Kyle and Renee
Hi Kyle & Renee! Thanks so much! We really wanted to make a video that was helpful and informative. Glad you found it so. Looking forward to seeing you guys on the road! Where are you now?
@@LizAmazing absolutely!! We would love that, we are currently in Colorado just outside of Durango. You and Paul are doing great and looking great as well. Always wonderful seeing your smiling faces 😊 where are you guys currently at?
We are in Cottonwood, headed to cooler temps in higher elevation next week! It's over 100 here! We ended up here as part of our return trip from South Dakota. I LOVE Durango!!!! Awesome! Thanks so much for your sweet words. Hope to see you if you head south. We will be in SoCal and Yuma for the winter.
@@LizAmazing oh very nice! Absolutely we love watching your adventures. We are actually headed East for the winter and holidays. When we make it out back west, we will be sure to see where you guys are so that we can meet up! Stay safe and happy trails Liz and Paul 😊👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Several times we've made plans to head east, and each time the timing wasn't right. We will get out there some day! Safe travels to you, too!
Great info
Hi Mark! Thanks for watching and commenting. We do believe Americas Mailbox is a big piece of the puzzle of setting up to live fulltime as RVers. Happy trails to you!
Thanks for the videos. What truck do you use to tow your trailer. Single wheel or dully?
Thanks for watching! We have a 3/4 ton that Paul turned into effectively a one ton- costs less than $300 for the mod! Here's the video about it: czcams.com/video/d5Z32tI1Uqg/video.html
Thanks guys...that was interesting..I can see were that can be very helpful...by the way..we thought you guys look nice..Paul has a long sleeve shirt on..but needs to unbutton the top button..lol..stay safe....J&A
Oooh, I will tell him that. I've tried to be his wardrobe consultant a couple times with no much success! lol! And thanks for watching our Americas Mailbox video. We'd been wanting to do this one for a while to answer so many of the questions we get about the logistics of full time RV life. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe out there.
Gold membership worth it just to be notified of federal, state, local tax/DMV/ticket/legal concerns. the "money grabbers" mail the letters and don't care if you check the mail or not. No phone calls. No emails. Those agencies make more money if you are late in responding as your troubles multiply. Yes, speaking from experience, eek.
We had Gold and upgraded to Platinum so we could get daily scans, and even get mail opened if needed. Extremely helpful!
Just saw this. Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax. Sales tax is high though.
Yep. We looked at all the states and just kept coming back to South Dakota. When I moved my health insurance from Kentucky it went down almost by half to South Dakota- and Kentucky is a cheap state. Paul saved BIG bucks moving from California. Another factor was registration and not needing to come back every year to get vehicles inspected. AND super easy to become a South Dakota resident. Thanks for watching!
That was what I needed to know! Will be full timing it next year & will be heading to South Dakota! Big Question... who does your taxes in South Dakota? I'm in southern calif & calif has some different laws than south Dakota
Hi Pat! I bet Americas Mailbox could recommend a CPA for you. After using one for years, last year was my first time trying Turbo Tax. If yours aren't too complicated you could try that route.
And welcome to fulltime RVing next year! My gosh if you use Americas Mailbox, we'll be "neighbors!" Don't forget to say we sent you to get your free $10 in postage. That offer will still be good next year.
And looking forward to meeting you in a campground someday next year!
Thank you for the helpful information! I plan to domicile in South Dakota next year. I currently live in Oklahoma and will need to sell my house. My only concern is the order in which I do things. I had heard that if you set up domicile and then sell your home you may have an issue with having to pay taxes in both states. I don’t know if that’s true but just in case, I would rather sell my house first and then establish residency in South Dakota. If you know any other information about this please share. I assume it varies from state to state. Have a great day!
We do not have direct knowledge with that situation so I would make some phone calls first. Americas mailbox does have a good team that may be able to answer your questions, and I would also call someone in your state. Congratulations on your upcoming RV life!
Great info. I am only 59. My husband will be able to use Medicare when we get out there. I have not started to do the detailed homework on this yet but I have heard that the only way for me to secure any kind of national health care, I would have to domicile in FL. What can you tell me about Healthcare and domicile in SD?
I have not heard that at all about Florida. I am covered nationally and was when I was based in Kentucky. With the South Dakota address, my costs went down.
Liz, Paul,John,George,,Ringo.LOL.Hows it going guys?Where ya at now?
Hi Jordin! lol. We are doing a travel update today. If you haven't already, ring the bell to get notified when the video posts. And nice to hear from you and thanks for your comment.
So does south dakota tax state pensions or social security do they tax your vehicles every year and is there a state inspection sticker
No vehicle inspections in South Dakota. No state income tax so you're pension will not be taxed as part of income. Vehicles have to be registered each year but that is super reasonable.
OK, you can register your vehicle there ahead of time, can you also get insurance as well without having that permanent address established yet?
They do need an address. But it's easy to do that online. I set mine up through Americas Mailbox before ever setting foot in South Dakota. My health insurance and vehicle insurance went WAY down when I did that. Months later I visited in order to get my drivers license. 📫 Sign up for Americas Mailbox and get $10. Mention Liz Amazing americasmailbox.com/
As a midwesterner I would choose South Dakota, particularly with one day residency and the fact that I have Medicare for health insurance. I heard the van guy Bob, say health insurance in an area you are not near often can be an issue. He uses Nevada. Any thoughts on using Nevada? He chose Nevada because he spends a lot of time in Arizona, Nevada and California. Thoughts? Live your channel and give Mango a b eff ally rub from me!
I meant live your channel and give Mango a belly rub from me!
Awww, thanks. Mango loves belly rubs! As far as health insurance goes, my coverage covers me nationally. When I switched it from Kentucky (my home state) to South Dakota, my rates went down because of the SD home address. No problems at all with coverage as it is nationwide.
What about prescriptions, getting them?
Excellent question! Several solutions: You can get your prescriptions moved to a national chain such as CVS or Costco. Stop by your hometown once a year to get refills renewed. OR use a tele-doc to renew. I did that AND also went to Mexico to stock up for a year. Here's our video with more info: czcams.com/video/m_DgJ2OVbe4/video.html
You guys are so cute and beautiful too. Thank you very much
Awww, thanks so much for your kind words!
I have an aunt Martha lol 😂
Then you know!
Can you own property in another state and still register truck and trailer there?
We think so. As long as you don't live on it. We are not the final authority, call Americas Mailbox just to be certain.
Our sales tax in NY is 8.50%
Good to know. I believe it's 4% in South Dakota and when you buy a vehicle you only pay the purchase price less the value of any trade-in. We think having a domicile in SD is a great plan. Someday we will make it across to New York- so much to see and do in your area!
@@LizAmazing i love your ebike videos. I just bought a new Trek ebike. I love it. It’s getting colder and soon enough it will be too cold and I’ll have to wait to ride in the Spring. Did you ever replace your stolen ebike?
Frank Beams yes. My homeowners for the RV did not cover it but Paul’s renters insurance through USAA saved the day! Keep warm up there- hope it’s a mild winter.
I saw a video that claimed it your domicile is in SD, than you must go back there to see your doctor, but if it is in Florida, than you can go see a doctor anywhere. Is this true?
Not true. You can go to a doctor anywhere. And you can teledoc. For prescriptions, renew them before leaving your hometown and then get them monthly at national chains like CVS or Costco. One option would be to come back to your hometown once a year for a check up and Rx renewal.
I did teledoc to renew some of my prescriptions. AND got some super cheap meds from Mexico. Here's our video about that. czcams.com/video/m_DgJ2OVbe4/video.html
The only drawback we have seen about being on the road and not being a resident of a particular state we happen to be in, is that we cannot get a Covid test. All places we have been to say you must be a resident. But that would happen no matter where your domicile is- unless you happen to be in your domicile state.
You will certainly save a ton of money making South Dakota your residency versus Florida!
Liz and Paul where do you get your internet at
We use this, highly recommend! czcams.com/video/i-pKsvFaKwU/video.html
My wife and I bought a Class A back in June. We are not going to go full time. My neighbor in his 70's came by earlier today and was looking at the RV. He told me that a lot of people that he knows have gone full time RVing. He asked me a question that I thought I might ask you two. What happens when you are not able to drive a big rig or pull a fifth wheel trailer any more? Do you have a plan? Or do you just cross that bridge when you get there?
Respectfully, Kevin
Hi Kevin, that’s a great question! We see no end in sight to this full time RV life. That said, in the back of our minds we know we would not be able to continue if we couldn’t do this physically. We have no hard plan. If we could still live in our RV, we would just buy land and park it. If that was out of the question, we would buy a house and stay put.
Congrats on your new camper! Hope to meet you around the campfire!
Liz Amazing Thanks for the response! Your video on how you met and actually got together reminded me of meeting my wife July 15, 1977, engaged before August, married Nov 12, 1977. You just know when it is right! Best Wishes to the two of you, Kevin
Awww, so very nice of you! Congratulations to you and your wife!
The only problem I heard about south Dakota vehicle registration is that if you don't have the vehicle title, they will not complete the registration until the title is sent to south Dakota. That could take up to 2 months.
Hi Paul, yes if you don't have the title in your possession I could see how that might take a while to get the transfer. Good to know- thanks!
@@LizAmazing thanks.
@Paul Madkow, wanted to let you know I reached out to the owner of Americas Mailbox to get his take on the wait. He says it has nothing to do with South Dakota, could happen in any state. It's all the mercy of the banks sending the title. However, he says it takes one month typically and rarely into six weeks. Still, that's something good to know going in.
@@LizAmazing interesting. I've registered my truck and rv in the following states since leaving California in 2017. Texas, Utah and Tennessee. I was able to get my vehicles registered immediately without title.
Ah. That's the difference then. SD requires title. A long wait, but clearly many plusses and savings. Happy travels!
Hi Liz and Paul. What's the best route for 100% disabled veterans? My Travel Trailer (Grand Design ) is still on the assembly line, but I have the VIN number. My drivers license, residency and tow vehicle are registered in Georgia. I'm looking into the easiest and best options as a 100% Permenant and Total disabled veteran, for full time insurance, registration and residency for license. Thanks for all your help & inspiration. ♥️🙏
Hi Jah!
If you travel, then we believe using Americas Mailbox with a South Dakota address to be the best option.
USAA is the best insurance we have found for veterans (whether you travel or not). Paul (a veteran) has been with them a year and a half. They are especially for veterans. Of course, it's always good to shop around so do check rates including with Americas Mailbox in-house insurance. We think South Dakota will be a good residency for you, based on all the reasons we discussed in this video. They will take care of everything remotely including setting up your mail forwarding. You will, of course, need to visit South Dakota at some point to get your drivers license.
I changed my address to Americas Mailbox in South Dakota, then moved my health insurance, vehicle insurance, banking address, and changed vehicle registration. I think was six months before I went there to actually get my drivers license. You only need to spend one night in South Dakota every five years.
Remember to mention our name when you sign up to get your free $10 in your postage account.
Let us know if you have any more questions.
love your hair this length/ approximately
Thank you! I like it like that, too. I also like change and will probably go shorter in the next couple weeks or so. One thing about RV life is having low-maintenance hair is a plus! We can't always get a shower every day!!
We are going full-time in November of this year. How do you handle your health insurance when you are still under 65 and need Obamacare type of health insurance? Does America's Mailbox help you with that also? Help, where do we start?
I use the health insurance I had when I was in Kentucky (Manhattan Life). When I transferred my address to South Dakota, my health insurance went WAY down. I was paying $300 a month and now it's something like $160. It's not the best health insurance, but it was the most I could afford at the time as a self-employed person. America's Mailbox can connect you with someone to help you find a good plan. Let me know how it goes.
@@LizAmazing thank you so much. I was excited about going full time but now I'm a little scared. I think once we both turn 65 at the end of this year it will feel better. We just sold our home and are temporarily living at a hotel while i recover from a broken ankle surgery. We are now without any insurance or any home address. We are here for at least eight months and then we will start traveling. We have on order a 5th wheel to be delivered to us sometime in March or April and we're not sure where to have it licensed. Any help is so appreciated. Thank you.
@@CynthiaBertleson Yes, I think you are on the right track with Americas Mailbox. Do compare with your current state. For us, coming from Kentucky and California, it was a no-brainer. HUGE savings!! Our camper insurance went way down as well as the health insurance. Look into Progressive insurance and tell them you are fulltimers. They are very reasonable. That is who is covering our camper. And it went down quite a bit moving that policy to South Dakota.
You can start all of this remotely. You don't have to go to South Dakota to start your health or vehicle insurance. Or to change your address. I did vehicle registration, address change (changing banking and insurance) months before visiting SD to get my drivers license. You just need your South Dakota drivers license to vote and show proof of residency.
Seems like I have a different kind of mail dilemma - I want to retain an Oregon address. My LLC is registered in Oregon and don't want to change it. Actually don't mind paying state taxes because Oregon is such a great state. Plus, giving up Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley is a deal killer! :-) Insurance is very low, no sales tax on RV's, health plan is here, and so much more. Mail will be something to figure, for sure. Thanks for the video and glad you found something that works well!
Oh-my-gosh, we LOVE Oregon so much! We completely understand your wanting to keep your address there. I'm sure you can figure something out as far as mail forwarding or somehow having a usable address. Here is my video on Oregon: czcams.com/video/E2NONzun4Xk/video.html
Ive heard the south dakota is THE state for full time rvers to b registered in. Did u guys go vote yet? do you remember me telling u that i stayed at the marina which is at the base of that tall fancy hotel on lake c d´alene...well we had a spat with the marina mgr there (rare we have spats)..ie they would take our money to stay a week at their marina but they refused to let us use their bathrooms!! WHAT?? that was the spat! they actually kicked us out when they found we had been using them anyways!! but kept our money so I complained to the owner (they have ties to that hotel) and the hotel gave us a $250 guest card; which I found today (after 15 yrs) in a box of items i was sorting; purging; downsizing...so at some point im going to go cash in that card...
Hi Lauren! Yes, we remember you telling us to go to Cedars. Sadly, we ran out of time. Too funny about the bathrooms-- WHAT?? We DID enjoy a great boat ride and bike ride while we were in CDA. Yep, South Dakota is the smartest place to set up your residency if you are doing fulltime RVing in the US. And, dang-it WHEN will the border be open???
Donald Allen Thanks, we are not worried about that at all. We get asked all the time about mail as a fulltime RVer so we hope this video helps answer those questions.
@Donald Allen my hubby informed me a few minutes ago that we had used this card at an associated marina but i dont recall that hmmm
$149 for Bronze level the bottom level and get 7 pieces of mail!!! really thats not competitive at all
No that is not a good deal at all. I wonder if it is a typo. For $20 more there is no limit. We had the Silver for a couple years and it was fine. About six months ago we upgraded to the Titanium so we could get scanning.
