Domicile in Pennsylvania

[JayNewman]

I am picking up my RV from the factory in the middle of June. I am hoping to have my house (in Pennsylvania) sold by then. I would like to maintain domicile in Pennsylvania for six months or so, maybe up to a year.

I realize that I will move eventually to Florida or Texas, but for now, I have medical insurance until I get remarried through Penn State.

I know that I need a physical address (or the appearance of such) for my driver's license. I would move to Florida now, but I just don't have the time before I need to pick up my motorhome.

Does anybody know of any mail-forwarding service that could help me, or should I use a friend's address?

Thanks in advance.

Then what will you do for health insurance? Are you under 65?

Nov.-Dec. in PA in a MH may not be fun keeping everything from freezing.

South Dakota is NOT Pennsylvania.

For the OP: Do a Google or Bing search for something like "mail forwarding service in State College, Pa."

And/or do a search here. It's been discussed MANY times before.

And don't discount the US Post Office either. They have a variety of plans, one of which might be a good solution for the first couple of months.

a friend is free, a mail forwarding service isn't.

You can sign up with the Escapees' mail service now - without waiting. Their home base is in Livingston, TX, but they have recently established mail service in Florida. We did that several months before we "launched" and moved drivers' licenses, vehicle registration, etc., when we physically hit the road and finally made it to Texas.

Thank you for responding. I am a member of Escapees.

The problem is that I still need insurance and such for the next 6-12 months while I live in Pennsylvania. I need to spend the rest of this month dealing with my house, and most of the month of May I'll be abroad, and then I have appointments in the beginning of June and then I go to the Newmar factory.

So I need to have a Pennsylvania domicile because I already have my drivers license and all my contacts here. After I pick my motorhome up, I can work on getting my domicile switched to Florida or Texas.

If I stay here in PA with the motorhome for six months, then I only pay the transfer tax when I "move" to Florida.

If I do have time before I go abroad, then yes, I will transfer my domicile to Florida or Texas.

I am a member of Escapees, but I don't like their Florida mail service because you still have a Texas address for almost all your mail. So I'd have to have another mail/address service in Florida.

I don't want to do that. I'd rather go with a different service.
