Hello Chad,
PoPo Young from the DOG group. Nice upgrade on the panels. We also love the fact that on cloudy nasty days we still pull in a decent amount energy from our solar panels.
The REC panels are great.
When looking at batteries don't forget to check into Simpliphi batteries out of California.
Northern Arizona Wind and Sun carry them and we are completely satisfied with their performance.
Maybe we will see y'all in Q this winter.

George,
Yes you were being taken advantage of....we felt the same way. See our blog post just before you.
We have worked both paid and volunteering and this year we felt more than ever taken advantage of.
As word gets out,, these places will suffer the consequences of how they treat the Volunteers and paid staff.

You have your fun the way you choose, we have ours....we have our our toys for our needs, you have yours.
Enough said....as usual these threads on these forums have gotten out of hand and personal opinions are now the norm.

Our side x side is considered a LSV in Texas and meets all of the said requirements under the Texas DMV regulations and has a MSO from the factory which allows for the proper titling and registration in Texas.
See - http://txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle/off-highway-vehicles
It was not simply a mistake by an inexperienced clerk. From all our research this is quite commonplace.
The nice thing about our side x side is it has all off road capabilities and has so far proven itself here in the AZ desert.
Our total height when the UTV is on top is 13'-2".
See our video at https://youtu.be/uOqqRtzlRjY

Thanks y'all for the responses. As it turned out we purchased our Side x Side at Play-n-around Sports in Conroe, Texas and they handled all of the titling and registration. Our UTV is legally title, registered and insured in Texas and is street legal for roads up to 45 MPH.
Here is a video of our new toy as we unload it from the truck.....
See y'all on the trails!

Looking for guidance on this this topic. We are currently researching purchasing a new UTV for offroad use in TX, AZ and other states. In order to use in AZ with National Forrests or on road use they require title and registration. It looks like Texas will not register a UTV but only title. This would preclude us from using in AZ or other states that require a registration.
We have the a Livingston address so we would want to do everything in Texas.
So here are the questions:
1) Has anyone registered a UTV in Texas? If so what was procedure?
2) Has anyone with a Livingston address titled and registered a UTV in AZ? If so how does it affect your domicile?
3) If you only titled in Texas do you use it in other states and how did you go about getting proper documentation to allow to be used in AZ, Etc.
We winter in Quartzsite and beside being RV central in winter it is also UTV/ ATV central as well.
Any guidance is very much appreciated!

Roger,
As I am still working FT we are kind of fixed base so yes we will be here thru next winter at the very least....We checked this campground a couple of years ago and since then they have made a lot of improvements (paved rods, cleaning, upgrading, etc.)
Hope to see you!

Hello Folks and hope you will allow us to graduate to the Class-less Class....Nothing like expanding your horizons and becoming class-less will just confirm our suspensions about ourselves....that no matter what class we belong to there is always room to become class-less....Hoping to see some of you out there in the future.
BTW Sue has taken a workamper position at Blackbear Campground in Florida, NY starting this May so stop on by if you are in the area!
