Happy Seniors Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 My husband and I have just became full time RVers. We found out in the last 5 months that our 26 foot toy hauler is not big enough. It’s short on storage for what we to bring with us. So we’re looking at upgrading to a fifth wheel. My question is do you use your domicile address or one of your kids address as a home base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 We use the Escapees Mail Service as our address and have everything registered in TX. Having your children do this can be dicey. They are busy with their lives and tend to put things like this on the back burner. Also, many times you mail may require a trip to the Post Office which can be very time consuming and out of the way. With a mail service, your accumulated mail is sent whenever and wherever you want. A mail service eliminates potential family conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Welcome to the Escapee forums! I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. Domicile is where you register vehicles, insure them, get your driver's license, vote, and do all of your legal business. In most cases that would be at your home-base if you have one but many fulltimers do not have any home-base. Some people do use one of their children, another relative, or a friend as a legal address and/or mail service, especially if they choose to domicile in a state that requires a physical address for domicile, which most states do. For a better understanding of what domicile is, I suggest that you read Choosing a Full-time Domicile and then take a look at some of this information from the Escapees RV Club website.

rynosback Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I was not aware that a 26 toy hauler was produced. I use our Escapees mailing service address to register everything. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Happy Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I use my son's address as my domicile address, and Escapee Mail. Everything else is paperless. So far has worked out great for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0zke Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 We're domiciled in South Dakota, so that's what our drivers licenses say, that's what the license plates on the Foretravel and Lincoln say, that's where we vote and where our mail goes. The mail is held there until we tell them to send it somewhere. We thought about using one of our children's addresses, but quickly realized that for two of the three, we would have to pay income tax and the third has so much going on that mail would be forwarded on a hit-or-miss basis. Another argument against using family members' addresses is that if that family member moves, you "move" too. Now, if the family member is firmly tied to a particular address AND they are willing, it may work for you.
