This absolutely IS political…I have a friend who works for the USPS and she says they are doing this all over the country and mainly effecting nomadic travelers because they predominantly vote conservatively. This is a shady way to affect voting! Just awful! Please make sure your VOTE counts it’s the MOST important election of our lifetime 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Just do a mail forwarding, no rush to change everything else. Your already registered to vote, just keep using old address until changed later. No issue really and you can most of it online including car license, driver license, and then insurance.

Be careful. As a Floridian, car insurance rates have gotten out of control, which means you can expect to pay significantly more for RV and toad insurance as well. This has been one of the biggest challenges since Hurricane Ian. Make sure to get a quote beforehand to understand the new costs.

Every company is going electronic, so you should be able to use the Livington address as an "apartment"number and not a regular "PO BOX. Is that what Escapees is suggesting? Since we work out of our home but wish to have our privacy, we rented a commercial PO Box in a small satellite mail outlet (like Post Boxes Plus, etc.) but to be able to receive ALL mail and shipping (FedEx and UPS don't deliver to PO Boxes), the address is listed as (example) "12345 N. Elm, #105-154, City, State, Zipcode." The #105 designates the building number at the strip mall where it's located, and the "154" is the actual "mail box" that is designated for OUR business alone within the postal outlet. In 18yrs and several changes in ownership, we've never had issues with mail arriving there. If needed, the shipper will package and forward mail to our private residence, but we generally don't need that since we pick things up every couple of weeks.

With regards to health insurance, we talked about this a little when we did the podcast with you. We aren't on Medicare yet and have a plan purchased on the ACA healthcare exchange. Florida has tons of plans to choose from and, depending on your income level, there may be subsidies available to you to help offset the cost. With our BCBS PPO plan, we can get any kind of care anywhere in the US. Other plans you might not be able to do that so choose carefully. Before I retired, I went on the exchange and did some research to find out what the various plans cost, what the benefits were, and what the subsidy might be. You can do this without actually applying for a plan. Lastly, you might want to time the domicile change to Florida with the end of the year, as that could complicate your current insurance situation. I know, it's more research to do! You know how to reach us if you want to discuss further! Good Luck!

We are Wyomingites and we use RV Mail Service out of Montana, they have an office in Sheridan Wyoming and they do exactly what you’re being moved to. Everyone has the same street address but has a Suite #. We also have a deeded rv lot in Wyoming with a personal address PO Box, that we pay taxes on but we can’t expect the local post office to handle our mail like a mail service company does. It’s a pain to go through the change but regardless which way you decide to go you’re going to have to change everything. I feel you’re pain, but it’s rv life dang it. We don’t pay state taxes and property taxes are cheap also

As a current Florida resident, and an Escapee for many years, I have had to have two addresses. For my regular mail its Livingston, for official mail such as my drivers license address, plates, tags, it has to be listed as Bushnell, FL. I also have my absentee ballot listed with Bushnell, and IRS etc. This is a FL rule and Escapees helped me navigate through it. My absentee ballot will go to Bushnell then it will be sent to TX then finally to me. Weird but that’s FL. Expensive auto insurance because of hurricanes and other storms. Hope this info helps!

We changed from having a PO Box to having a mailbox at home about a year ago. Just a head's up, since the address change has already been made, expect your address to automatically be updated on credit cards and other personal business items. I was totally surprised by how many things automatically updated. It actually felt a little intrusive and was a real eye opener. One big question is how would your mail be handled at the RV park if you change to a FL address? Good luck with your decision and the process.

Marc & I are both born and bred Texans so we hear ya. We travel full time but similarly have a physical address in AZ at a 55+ resort where we pay taxes similar to what you guys do in FL. We domicile in Sioux Falls, SD which has worked out ok so far, BUT ...recently were told that in the county of Minnehaha which includes Sioux Falls that they are not allowing folks with the PMB address to vote! I'm looking into it, but we may have to domicile in a different county in SD if that's true. If your plans are to keep the FL property for 5-10 years, it seems it would be a good solution to go ahead and domicile there. But yea, need to research the insurance part of living in Florida. If you aren't too far away from Medicare age, I'd lean toward Florida domicile. Or, if you have a relative in TX that could receive your mail till you are Medicare eligible, that might work too? We did that for a few years, our daughter got our mail in TX, would send pics, I'd tell her to keep or toss and then she would forward any important stuff every other week wherever we happened to be to receive it. You can set pretty much everything up online or email these days which is also what we've done. I'm sure you and Tom have already done that.

The postal service told us a couple years ago that we had to move our mailbox from one driveway to another as we live on a corner with a through driveway. Where it was previously was on a very large heavy post dug way way down to make it steady and now it’s on a flimsy plastic post not very far down in the ground due to where exactly they wanted it. Yes they were so anal about location that they told us exactly where to place the new post. Where it was previously had been there for over 30 years. The local postmaster said she had zero say and that we had to follow the letter or be denied our mail. We live out in the country so daily drive to town wasn’t an economical option.

We are full-time RV travelers (we met you in Scott's Bluff NE) for 3 years and we use America's Mailbox in SD. We liked it because we could change everything, within a couple of days. This brings me to the question: How long does it take in Texas to change over everything; do you have to be there to get it all done? Waiting period? If you domiciled in FL, how would you manage your mail? We do not have vehicle inspections in SD. No state tax either. Is it possible to interrupt your travels, leave your RV at one of your reservations, fly to TX to do the necessary paperwork if it can happen in a few days, and then fly back? Big hassle no matter what, but hopefully because you are already registered as TX residents, it could be less complicated?

I domiciled in Florida using the Bushnell RV Park as an address and Florida was so accommodating and easy to work with and get things done EXCEPT when I bought a new RV. They wanted $10,000 in taxes on a $150,000 purchase. So if you're not making any new big ticket purchases, go for it. I chose to domicile back in my home state as I was going part time instead of full time. I'll still pay that $10,000 but in Property Taxes, Income Taxes and Registration fees spread out over 4-5 years. I'll update my address to my home state as renewals and the like come around. I'll let my Escape mail forwarding address go over time. It served my well. I was never domiciled in Texas so not quite the same situation for me.

We know exactly how you feel. In 1991, I left active duty and settled in California for about 13 years. We always considered Texas our hone and eventually sold our home and came back to Texas. We still own property in California, but we also own property here. We are lucky to have a permanent address here. The big consideration is, does Florida have an income tax? Is the vehicle registration reasonable in Florida? Is vehicle insurance more expensive in Florida? I believe your vote should be ok.

Congrats on 6 yrs. of FT life. We've been FT for 6 yrs. too. It sucks that your legal address changed. This happened to us once when the mail forwarding company we were using went out of business, costing us thousands of dollars to drive across the country to return to our domicile state to change our driver's licenses, registration, banking info, etc., some of which could only be done in person. We use Louisiana as our domicile. One of the biggest reasons for this is we were Louisiana residents before we retired and went FT, so we already had our vehicles registered there, DL and banking there, etc. We chose a parish that does not do smog checks. This is important to us because we have a 25yr old motorhome that might pass a smog check and a toad with 450,000 miles, that certainly won't pass one, and it would be cheaper to replace our toad than make it compliant. It is expensive to initially register your vehicle in Louisiana, as the sales tax rate where I live is almost 10%, but renewals are cheap. I think we pay $80 every 2 years to renew our registrations on both our motorhome and toad. La has a state income tax, but it is very favorable for retirees. I think we pay about $50 a year to the state on about $44k in income, because most of it is SS and a small pension, and we limit our IRA withdrawals to $8k/yr. to avoid any federal income tax. A big downside of being domiciled there is we must pay the 10% sales tax on almost everything we order online - though none of the items ever make it to Louisiana. This adds up over time, as we order lots from Amazon living on the road. Insurance is expensive too - comparable to Fl. In fact, it just went up to about $1,100 a year for both our MH and toad. We're both 68 yrs. old with a perfect driving record of no tickets or claims. We haven't returned to La. in about 2 years and won't need to until it's time to renew our DLs, 3 years from now.

FYI after we got our new address we did go online to do our drivers licenses and they were mailed to us. We did go into the tax office in Livingston to register our vehicles but was told that we could also do it online. We did apply for our voter registration cards when we did our drivers licenses. We have not received those yet but I was able to go online to see if we were in fact registered. Hopefully some of this information will help and sorry you are having to go through this hassle.

I live in Texas and had to do a change of address last year. My location hadn't changed but my address had. I wanted to get everything taken care of prior to an upcoming election that I felt was very important. The first thing I did was go online to change the address on my driver's license, followed by my voter registration and all the gazillian other places that needed to be notified. I had printed out my temporary driver's license and waited for my permanent one to come in the mail. Then I waited and waited and continued to wait. When My temporary TDL was about to expire I contacted someone at the online office about it. I was told they had a "glitch" in their system the day I had applied, my temporary was still valid and they would get my TDL to me asap. It never came. I ended up voting using my old TDL with my old address. I don't know how that worked since my change of address with my voter's registration had already gone through, but it did, and I was thankful. I did end up going in person to my local driver's license office and successfully getting a new TDL with the correct address on it. I hope things go more smoothly with y'all.

We live in Florida and we part time in our Class A. I have Obama Care through Florida Blue. I absolutely love it and they do a great job. If I leave the state coverage drops off. Under Obama Care you are not supposed to leave your state. Florida Blue will pick it up under an emergency though. Cost is $362 a month.

Oh my!!! You may just have to change your address completely and move it to your Florida address since you have an actual property there. No reason to take the Texas out of you though... I don't think that's physically possible anyway! 🤠 The advantage is of course, no address changes anymore. The disadvantage is just not knowing enough about healthcare costs, etc... and it is quite possible you will find better healthcare in Florida. Good luck... let us know how it goes and what advantages/disadvantages you faced in the change! Be seeing you

Contact St Brendan’s Isle in Green Cove Springs. They are very familiar with what you are looking for in Florida.

If you change to a Florida domicile, and you register your vehicles in florida you will be paying a wheel tax on each vehicle. Our insurance was reasonable for our edibles. I am retired military so I don't know what heath insurance costs. Good luck

Just have a quick question, if everyone uses the same physical address could they possibly turn around and say with so many people with same address be considered spam mail or whatever that is called? Hope everything works out for you. Safe travels

It's an interesting problem to have, when it comes to elections. Everyone talks about "cracking down on anything suspicious, by golly!' - and what could be more "suspicious" to the outside observer than dozens of people that aren't related to each other all claiming to live in a building they never actually seem to be in? Every law that seems sensible on the surface and is intended to solve one problem usually creates two MORE problems, somewhere! Good luck with it!

If you have kids in Texas just rent a room in their house and draw up a lease agreement. Pay them a dollar a year. You only need a legal address to be a resident. Use your current escapee address for mail.

Unfortunately, you can not do anything with your voter registration “on line” in Texas. Only by mail.

Pensions, social security, insurances, auto titles, voting registration, taxes for permanent address change! All your banking, credit card, and all your three credit reporting agencies! Forget about your local libraries, or your somerhome, or maybe a timeshare!
