If you are going to be a full time rver, in a class a mh, what state do you get plates from? Do you need resident state address? Is there a cheaper state to get plates from, lower taxes, etc. THANKS

  • We've been Texas for 16+ years and use the Escapees RV Club for our mail forwarding service and they give us a street address, not a P.O. Box.
  • Pick your 'domicile' state......set up a mail forwarding address so that you have a 'physical' address to use for drivers license, vehicle registration, insurance etc.

    Then you can get all your change of address done.
    Go to that 'domicile' state....stay the required amount of time to establish your 'residency' and go get new drivers licenses.register your vehicle with your new physical address.

    South Dakota is very Full Time RVr friendly. Only have to stay one might to become a resident. Course you have to go back every 5 yrs. to renew DLs...but they were (maybe have) changing to a on-line renewal.
    Low sales tax, low insurance costs....no state income tax

    FL & TX are other RV friendly states...........but SD was the cheapest for us.
  • Do a search in this forum on domicile or mail forwarding services. You should get tons of info.
