Tracy and I are working towards going fulltime in the RW. Next on the list is to change our domicile.
For several reasons, I want to use South Dakota .

Has anyone used Americas Mailbox ? Would like to get your feedback on them if you could. I've done a fair amount of research and they seem to be the best choice.

Look forward to any responses.

We have freinds that have used it for years without any issues. He said the only drawback was you have to go back every 5 years to renew your drivers license & registration.

You can do your DL & vehicle registration over the internet in Texas, this past year was the 1st time in a long time I had to show up in person to renew my DL.
We've used a UPS mailbox for several years without any problems, but we do pay property taxes in Denton/Tarrant counties from royalties (very little I might add).
We are not on MediCare for a couple more years so cant comment on that, but the health insurance from the company I retired from has worked flawlessly all across the country, no questions asked. And DW has tested it way too many times.

We retired last year in Colorado, sold our house and went full time, and so far we love it, as we work through the experience of being full timers.
We stopped by South Dakota "Americas Mailbox" and joined there program. They were very helpful in getting us set up with new drivers licenses, and registering the truck and 5th wheele.we have had no problem with having them forward our mail.
Vehicle insurance is higher in SD than Colorado.
We had to pay saless tax when we transfered the 5th wheel Title, it's higher in SD.
We are military retired, so medical insurance has not been a problem.
Americas Mailbox address is where we filed our taxes last year.
A problem we have in countered is providing a perement address for banks, they will not accept our Americas Mail Box. This is a Federal Law that banks need a perement address, they will also not accept ups box, I have not figured out how to work around this yet.
