  1. I'm at Rainbow Plantation for the second winter.

    Verizon is turning 15-20Mbps on my Pepwave, ATT on my phone is ok. Agesilaus lock onto Verizon band 4; right now it's 18.84Mbps. The bands which have a stronger signal are horrible because everyone's devices go on them. DW's Verizon phone says -116dBm, which is marginally usable for Facebook etc.

    There's lots of things going on in the clubhouse, just getting started with very active stuff.

     

  2. You're self-certifying. Odd but that's how it works. We didn't have two documents showing the Bushnell address either. The Bushnell tax office is very used to Escapees and, depending on your location, be worth a trip there just for the easy d/l change.

  3. Seems to me that with an erroneous setting on the gps, the gps was doing exactly what it was told to do. On my gps there's a setting for "avoid unpaved roads."

    Also, gps settings can be rather obtuse. On mine there's a setting for "avoid highways" but it really only refers to Interstates.

    That said, of course there are map errors, which are rather common.

  4. To complete this, Robertsdale Feed & Seed is great for propane fill, easy in and out for MH and toad. I don't believe there's a closer fill to Rainbow Plantation. Of course they also fill smaller tanks.

    For tank exchange, Greer's Supermarket in Robertsdale it cheapest and Walmart is about 50 cents higher. At higher prices, there are innumerable Dollar Generals.

    Fill up before you get here and use an Extend-a-stay to avoid having to pull off your lot and trudge up to Robertsdale.

    BTW, Greer's is great for online ordering and you pickup.

  5. My MH insurance is at the SBI address, as is my car insurance. Previously it all was at a UPS Store address. I haven't used a residential address for vehicle insurance in Florida since 2009. No one has questioned anything.

     SBI can provide you with a "real" address, which should satisfy your domicile requirements, insurance, d/l etc. Just ask them.

    Otherwise, join Escapees, join their mail service and get a domicile address at Bushnell, Fla., which is a real residential address, and then use their Texas address as your mailing address. That will also satisfy address requirements. For example, my d/l is 4602 CR 673 #xxyy, Bushnell, Fla., but I still use the SBI PMB simply because it's such a pain to change addresses.

    If I was starting from scratch I'd do it all with Escapees.

  6. No, I wasn't a Texas resident. People routinely register vehicles in states they don't reside (domicile) in at their summer homes etc. I was renting a lot at a CG, which gave me a legal Texas address. It wouldn't work at a short-term place such as a state park.

    You can of course title and register the vehicle in Missouri while you're in Texas; you'll need to obtain or download and print the appropriate form and mail it, the title etc to Missouri. Missouri may require VIN confirmation by a Texas LEO.
