Won’t miss the taxes at all we can stay in a campground all year and still not pay as much as taxes

We’re hoping the worst is over by then too rick,we’ve been in This campground for almost 2 weeks mostly rainy and only 2 days warm enough to be outside for any length of time. We’ve only talked to a few people here and from a distance. We went for a drive twice but never got out of the car or truck. We have a 8x80 section of grass next to our long gravel sight. Yesterday we sat outside sipping on a drink and looked at the grass and said “we went from 40acres to this strip of grass” but it’s a lot less work, went back to sipping our drink. We’ll give you a call David when we know more on the truck. Take care everyone 

As much as we hated to do it we cancelled our reservation at deer run. We’re going to stay in Illinois until we hear when the truck will be done.  Kenworth is on a shut down too, hopefully it will be done in may. Hope to see everybody in October. 

Definitely the right decision because it’s getting worse at least around here. We got kicked out of the state park we were in last Sunday when governor shut all state parks. 3campers there in the whole park, luckily we found a private campground only 9 minutes from work. Tuesday they sent us all home for at least two weeks. They will see then if they need to do it longer. So we won’t be there until April 16th now. Hopefully the truck will be ready about then. So much for planning, have to wait till places open back up South Dakota dmv sound like they are closing too. If anybody is driving trough Illinois on 55 just south of Springfield there is a campground all full hookups right on highway. It’s still open. See you all when this slows down

Illinois governor closed all state parks here so we had to leave this afternoon and find an open campground. Now all restaurants and bars in the state will close for 2 weeks. Only curb side pick up is allowed. What sense does it make to close a state park with 3 campers in it, no hiking or fishing or being on the state property at all. 

We don’t either since we just sold our home and 40 acres but they never told us that. They would just write a liability policy to make it a full timers policy.  So far herrmann Ins in rapid city has our business 

State Farm in South Dakota will not write a full timer policy but will add a liability policy if you are full time and already with them. They never said anything about our escapees address. 

Good then we won’t be the only one with an lgt again. 

We still plan on being there

Ok I will call them tomorrow. 

Hi kswrmk we just received quotes for hdt from miller, progressive,national general was a joke,State Farm will do it if you are a current customer. Herrmann insurance in rapid city has been the best. Miller no bobtail. St as the farm and herrmann that went through nationwide will let you great rates too

Check to see if your state will give you a temporary permit to let you drive a commercial truck if you apply for it to be registered rv. South Dakota will do that but you have to send all the right paperwork in first to get the permit. Might be worth checking out

Roger one look was probably enough. Ha

Did that do not allow bobtailing

I’m not an expert but the trailer fifth wheel hitch rides on air bags and articulates side to side. Air bags take the shock of bumps from beating the trailer frame to the breaking point. Might want to go to the hdt section and ask more, very knowledgeable people. 

Thank you 

For current customers they add the liability policy to cover what the full time policy covers. The hdt will have its separate policy so we can use it if we want to explore where the fifth wheel won’t go. Wife is going over everything to make sure. I’ve been with State Farm for over 30 years but still looking for companies that cover bobtailing. We’ve always gone with service over price. You get what you pay for. 

Does anyone know the dates of the national rally this year?

I don’t want to get in this argument but I was reading the post to my wife and she said geico has “captive” agents not captured. She was in insurance for 34 years , sorry judge. On the topic here we received quotes from miller insurance we’re happy but there’s no bobtailing. Does geiko allow bobtailing? So far State Farm looks like the way we are going but still checking. 

I just got off the phone with Marlene to get quotes for 5er hdt smart and umbrella policy. Told me the same thing she was interested to here how State Farm was going to do it by adding liability policy. They will only do that if You are a current customer. Never laughed that much talking to an insurance agent. Looking forward to seeing quote

We are already with State Farm and they did tell us that they do not have a full timer policy but since we’re already with them they can write another policy that will cover like a full time but separate from the rv. I will try the others too. Thanks for all your comments

Thank you do you have an hdt insured with them?

We are looking for insurance in South Dakota. Fifth wheel, smart car, and new hdt, and umbrella policy. Does anybody have any recommendations? We are with State Farm now in Illinois and have received some quotes from them. Which companies do some of you use who are full time?

I was hoping for an early out at the power plant I work at going to shut 3 turbines down out of 4. Two of them this year so I was hoping they would offer us something to leave to save younger guys their jobs by not yet. I’m working till April 2 and using vacation and personal days the rest of April till may 2 maybe they’ll offer something but not getting my hopes up. Anything will be extra. We’re ready to hit the road and maybe meet some other 2030ers 

Thank you both for your response we are with escapees. We definitely want to vote so I might make another call just to be sure. We are in our third week of full timing. Headed to South Dakota the first week of April to get drivers license.
