From what I read in the Escapees magazine and on their site, you may set up a mailbox for the purpose of having an address where "domicile" type documents would be sent. . . insurance, license plates, voting documents, tax returns, etc. Those documents, once sent to SD, would be forwarded to your mailbox in Livingston. It's an extra stop for your mail. That mail would be sent first to SD, then forwarded to Livingston. All other documents and mail go directly to your mailbox in Livingston.
As far as registering vehicles, etc., you have that all to do on your own. I don't think they have staff to do that for you.
As I understand it, the Florida connection works the same.
We have been using Alternative Resources, now Dakota Post for 10 years and have been extremely happy with them. When we buy a new vehicle, they had a dedicated employee you talk with who walks you through the forms to fill out and then you mail it all to her and she goes down to the BMV and gets your plates, etc., for you. If there is any problem, she will tell you exactly what you need to do. I think the cost for that is about $40, much cheaper than driving there. Voting is simple. . . they can put the absentee ballot applications in your box rather than you writing for one. Easy peasy.

I am an Escapee, but I dont use their mail service, but
I found this after doing a search on the Escapees Forum(you can too). Gives a little info, but the service in SD & Fl is a new addition and even those in TX dont know much. Hope this helps
Thanks - This helped, but I'm still curious if anyone out there has gone thru the process with the Box Elder office and what's their take on it. I know it's fairly new for the Escapees organization to be in SD. This is why I'm asking the questions....

How ya figure? Escapees will provide both the address and mail forwarding service for SD domicile. Unless I mis-read their web page.
If you domicile in South Dakota, you have to have a mail address to register vehicles, register to vote, maintain banking accounts, and file tax returns. That is what establishes your domicile. You will have to pay a mail forwarding company for that address.
If you get your mail in Texas, you will also have to pay for that mail forwarding service.
Why not just use South Dakota for everything?

I use Escapees and have since 2005 for domicile and mail service. The mail service is great. I just have the USPS forward my mail from my home to my SKP address in Livingston TX when on the road, and simply call them and tell them were to send it when I'm somewhere long enough to receive it. They have nice parks too. We also have a leased lot in the Chimacum WA park. You can't go wrong with their set up and club bennies The mail service is an extra charge. About 100 bucks a year and worth it.
