Well. We did it. My wife retired in late January. We moved out of our house and into our RV in mid-March. At that point, the estate sale people took over and sold everything in the house.
Then on April 1st, I retired. We put the house on the market. And a couple weeks later, after very little practice living in the RV… we hit the road headed for Sioux Falls, SD.
We’ve had a mailing address is Sioux Falls for about six months. They have laws that are friendly to full-time RVers.
When we first got there, we obtained South Dakota driver’s licenses. Then we submitted paperwork (and a fair amount of cash) for our vehicle registrations.
While in Sioux Falls we also closed on our house and established our primary care doctor. This is where our medicare advantage health plan is based.
We’ve been in Texas for over a month. We received the South Dakota license plates for the RV a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow we should be receiving the plates for the SUV. Then we’re pretty well set.
We had some major water leakage in the cab of the RV as we were leaving San Antonio. So when we got to Whitney, we found a great mobile RV Tech here. They took care of the leak and a bunch of other pesky things that had been bugging us.
