Most long term storage is by the month so it won't save what you may think that it would. 

That's what we've been finding. However the place Darryl&Rita recommended is only $30/month. Much less than paying for a camp site for a week.

Depending onthe time of season, Curt may offer you storage, with power for a very reasonable price.

Thanks Darryl&Rita. I will give Curtis a call.

For one week why don't you just leave it in a cg. Then you will have electric and won't have to empty the refrig and freezer.

Figured short-term storage may be cheaper than paying for a camp site for a week.

We will be in Arizona in December and will be flying back to California for work for about a week. We are looking for short-term RV storage recommendations in either the Phoenix or Tucson areas. If you have any recommendations we would greatly appreciate them.

Thank you!

I strongly suggest that you call the Polk County Tax Office where you do this for the Escapee address. They have a long history of exceptionally good customer service. Just let them know that you are thinking of moving to an Escapees address and they will know what you have in mind and they will be happy to help.

Thanks Kirk! I guess I should have just done this in the first place.

For anyone else who may be interested, they told me there is a Form 270 on the Escapees website that you can mail in with your registration documentation which will exempt you from the vehicle inspection requirement until you actually travel into Texas. Once you do arrive in Texas you have 3 days to get your vehicle/RV registered, but until you physically get there, there is no need for a vehicle inspection. 

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Have you already made arrangements for getting your mail?  If not, you might want to join the Escapees now, sign up for their mail service and start the process of getting all your mail changed over to your new address.

Not yet, but we will once we decide for sure which state we will be setting up our domicile in.

I think this site will answer your question.

Thank you Russ,

I had seen that site and had basically ruled out TX until I had two other full-timers tell me that they were able to register in TX without having the vehicle inspected in TX. I am trying to confirm from someone within the Escapees community who has been able to do the same thing. 

Cheers!

Hello all! My wife and I currently live in CA and are exploring which state we are going to establish our domicile in. We are looking at the Big 3 and our preference, for a variety of reasons, would be TX. Everything we have read so far says that our truck and trailer must physically get to TX to be inspected before we can register them. Their current CA registrations expire in July and we will not be able to get them to TX (or SD or FL) before July. 

In another forum two people said they were able to register their RV's in TX without having them inspected in TX and they both recommended I ask in the forums here. Is anyone able to confirm if this is accurate and if so, how exactly we would go about doing that? We are not Escapee members yet but plan on joining once we finally leave. We have sold our house and are making final arrangements with employers, etc. so we are hoping it will be by summer.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Cheers!
