Yes, I have a piece of tape over it now. I'm looking for a more permanent fix.

How do I disable or unplug it? I use my mirrors for backing and that thing blinking on, even when the system is turned off, is irritating and a distraction. It's part of the "infotainment" system, and there is no way to override it. Even when I have everything shut off, as soon as I put it in reverse the camera comes on. It is really bright and there is no way to darken the screen that I can find, so at night it's like someone turned on a spotlight in the cab and I can barely see the mirrors. Right now I have a piece of electrical tape over the lens on the tailgate.

No, I copied a picture from a US Navy Chief Petty Officer site I belong to, but the result is the same.

🤣

I am retired federal LE, 28 years. I was also a Range Master, RSO, and firearms instructor when I retired from the Navy. My EDC is a Beretta, PX4, 9mm...no +P rounds. Target acquisition is everything.

I routinely carry in shorts and a tank top in the summer. But I'm a skinny guy and wear over-sized shirts.

Save your money, +P loads will make little difference in a .380 cal. weapon. And don't let anyone tell you a .380 is too small. It is not.

Thank you for the help in explaining the issue. I posted this question on another forum and everyone keeps trying to tell me that no one uses the term "domicile" as I am using it. So I have posted the following: Domicile: the place where you physically live, not necessarily the same place where you receive your mail. Mailing address: the place where you receive your mail, not necessarily the same place where you physically live. Most states will not let you use a PO Box as your domicile address. It must be an actual, physical spot on the map...and the address of the post office does not count. Of the several RV parks I have looked into in the area of AZ where are going to put down stakes, none of them will allow you to use their address for anything other than the occasional FedEx delivery. They all say that if the start receiving regular USPS mail they will toss it. And I don't blame them.

There could be no minimum. Which means you can offer $1, but that would get you nowhere.

I don't have the backstory for this, only the picture. I can tell that the truck is a short bed GM truck, which have a straight driveshaft, and you can see the universal joint is pulled away from the rear end lying just beyond the front portion of the springs. The damage on the left side is even worse. The tire over there is partially visible behind the bumper, and it seems that the spring pack is torn away from it's forward shackle. In any case B&W has a good photo to advertise their hitch strength! With a fully floating axle (8 bolt hub) so it's a 2500 at least. Half-ton are semi-floaters, and have 6-bolt hubs.

I know what this is regarding. As a lifelong bass fisherman and former avid tournament angler, I kind of think it cheating a bit. It removes a lot of skill and fun from the chase if you can see the fish actually take your lure while watching on a screen.

As retired LE, I can assure you it happens regularly. Usually a Commercial Driver Enforcement Officer (or whatever the local term is) from the state Highway Patrol who knows the weight limits/laws will be the one doing the ticketing.

The best carry weapon is the one you have on you at the time. None of them do you any good sitting home in a drawer.

I'm retired LE and I was wondering the same thing.

Assuming your Tundra can, indeed, tow 10,000#, you will almost always run out of payload capacity before you run out of towing capacity.

I absolutely agree. Finding an RV park that will let us pay for more than one month at a time, no less a whole year, is not an easy quest, however.

I think you got lucky. Your suggestion got me thinking. We live really rural, so I went into our local PO yesterday where they know me, in a town of 1000 people, and asked them if a person could use their physical address. The woman said, "You can get a PO Box, but you cannot use our physical address or we would personally start getting your mail delivered to us, and we don't want that."

Right now, we're looking at and in touch with Sonoran Desert RV Park in Gila Bend. We're trying to find a park with minimal amenities other than a laundry room, and the ability to pay for at least 6 or 8 months at a time. The intention is to stay planted for many months at a time, then uproot and go visit friends and relatives up north for a couple months in the summer and come back and plug in again.

Son and daughter-in-law, grandkids, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities in a state I am familiar with. Other than that, why not Arizona?

It is true, we need a street address...or a domicile address...which is good for DMV, taxes, insurance, and other legal matters. A PO Box is not sufficient for some of that stuff. I have already checked on a couple of those links you posted, and some of them are the same as a PO Box. I will do some more research, though, so thank you very much!

Thanks, I think the 70-year-old rule applies most places. I have a ways to go before I hit 70.

I understand. That would never work in our case because we will never be in any of those states as we know no one there.

To clarify my question. We are going to be living in AZ full time in an RV - no house, no apartment, no hotel room - for as many months out of the year as we can - hopefully 9 or 10 months in the same RV park - then maybe leaving for a month or two to visit up north in the summer. Then right back to where we started from for another 9 or 10 months. We are going to sell our house and property here in AR and homestead (RV-wise) in an Arizona RV park someplace and we don't care about state tax. I did the full-time RV thing for 5 years 20+ years ago when I was still working for Fish & Wildlife, but my domicile and mailing address were both at the HQ of the wildlife area where I worked. Since most RV parks nowadays will not allow you to use their address for regular (USPS) mail I need to reinvent part of the wheel here. We want to set up a domicile in AZ...not Texas, not Florida, not South Dakota....Arizona. I can set up a "mailing address" at the closest post office by getting a PO Box, that's the easy part. It's the setting up a "domicile" thing - a physical address - I need info for...for Arizona...not TX, FL, or SD. I emphasize this because on another forum all of the nice people responding to my question keep wanting to push those three states, as if that's the only options out there. We don't care about state tax, or how much it costs to register a vehicle. So, here is a question that popped into my mind. For those of you who have your domicile set up in SD, FL, or TX but live 1000+ miles away most of the time, what do you do when you receive a jury notice? Since the County Clerk's office in the state you are domiciled in is the one that takes care of that, do you drive or fly all the way back to your state of residence to answer the summons? Inquiring minds, and all that. 😎

That's what I figured.
