I don't have any “made up addresses” and never mentioned Texas. (The “made up address” was the previous insurance agents suggestion. I store my rv in Nevada, have for yrs. Rv never goes to Cali. No lies there.. Dry, little snow and not $. I owned a house in California near the Nevada border for 30 yrs recently sold. Not made up. We had and have many ties in both states. My domicile address is in central Cali at mom in laws since we help her out due to her age and her partners age and health. But we dont live there full time, I do have a rental that we pay California taxes on. We travel a lot. I feel lucky. Once again legit. I own a home in Mexico., keep car in mex Car registered in SD following SD law. It’s insured in Mex,
My reason for the question was knowing that some full timers or close to full timers have situations more complicated than someone living fulltime in stick home. Now that I dont own a home or rent in Cali, and my RV doesn’t live in Cali I see no reason to register, smog, jump through the hoops California has for that vehicle. . But... I was not totally comfortable using a SD address for my RV insurance. The reason for this is that insurance companies look for reasons not to pay a claim. So I felt at this time the SD was a grey area for me regarding my insurance and registration. I know it works for many I just wasn’t super comfy. I might work for us in the future as we really like western SD and plan to spend time there.
SInce talking to the Nevada DMV and my insurance co, I now know that it is totally legal to have my drivers license in California, but since my RV is stored in Nevada I can register and insure it in NV. So license in one state, register and insure in another is totally legit depending on your circumstances.. I just want to pass that info along since that is what this forum is about.
