Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / November 2005RVer - Address Info?
In the full-time RV lifestyle, what do people use for their "legal" address? I'm talking about the registration of your vehicle with your state's DMV, your operator's/driver's license with your state DMV, perhaps an address that some agencies require that must be "a physical street residential address"? I understand that most of the RVs one sees along the road and stopped at various places are used by people who have residential homes where they receive mail and live part/most of the time. I'm asking about those without such an alternative living arrangement, and who live full time in their RV. Directions to other sites addressing this topic would be appreciated. Thanks. (If you want to reply directly, change dubya to w in my email address.)

You can use a mail service, in the state of your choice. Most of us use a no income tax state.... like SD, TX, FL... Go here... www.escapees.com and all your questions about fulltiming will be answered. Hunter -- http://members.aol.com/hhamp5246/roadtrip2005.htm Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy sh.t...what a ride!" CW, Get a mail forwarding address that provides a street address, not a PO box. I have recently compiled a list of these services in all of the no income tax states: http://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-no-tax.shtml If you don't care about the state, go with Hunter's suggestions and sign up with Escapees. They claim their forwarding address to meet all Texas residency requirements. I used them also and like their service.

My problem is my state DMV will not allow me to complete the purchase documents on a vehicle unless I provide the "actual street address of your residence." To use a mail forwarding firm's street address would work, but require me to lie, and I'm not comfortable doing that. I was hoping someone had discovered a special provision in various state laws that allowed those without a street address (such as someone who lives full time in an RV) to register their vehicles legally using a post office box, or the RV dealer, or a friend/relative's street address.

Use the address for the place you are parked at the time of purchase and use a PO Box for a nailing address.

There is no provisions in the law that forbids lying. The way they get around that is they say you better not get caught lying. Ha!, Ha!, just sticking a little humor in it. I'm sure some one has an answer for you, a lot of people do it some way. But your resident address and mailing address do not have to be the same for any thing. SignatureBILL P. CW, > I provide the "actual street address of your residence." In my opinion, my forwarding address is just that--the street address of my residence. Look at it this way: you live full-time in your RV which is your residence. What is your RV's street address? I think a permanent mail address qualifies as such. I looked up my most recent registration renewal for Texas, which says "Vehicle owner name & address". Makes no mention of residence.

Well I'll be damned! Chuck Lee! Chuck, I have my vehicles registered to my PO Box in Groveland. What I did was place my street address immediately ahead of the PO box number (nnnnn Main Street, PO Box nnn, Groveland, CA). DMV in Sonora says that is perfectly legal, and all renewals and notices come to the PO box, not to the address. Trying to register the Fairmont at a PO Box?

As you have discovered, a physical street address is required by some states. In Alaska, you must provide one for your drivers license and for vehicle registration. (Part of the reason for the latter is that there are different emission testing requirements in different parts of the state.) A lot of Alaska full-timers use the address of a friend or relative who still lives in the state. Since DMV sends all correspondence to the mailing address rather than the physical address, they never know the difference. In fact, the physical address ("near Milepost 98, Parks Highway") may not even have mail service, so a different mailing address is required. SignatureDD |
