I don't know anyone personally who lives the "wandering RV" lifestyle, but hear of it all the time. The best place to ask about this might be on a forum site like RV.net. I'm going to mention it to my wife, whose friend is considering this move. I'm glad you brought it up.

 

And the winner is......... BFG. I'm going to give the KO2's another shot since BFG stepped up with a courtesy discount based on my mileage complaint. I was pleased, (and Discount Tire was surprised) by the move.

Now my choice is C's or E's. The C's will save me about $100, ride smoother, and possibly save a little fuel and allow me to regain a smidge of acceleration. The load capacity is adequate for the F150, and I haven't towed anything in years. Other than the gravel/dirt roads I traverse regularly, my off-pavement exploits are fairly mild and infrequent as well.

I understand that the smoother ride might come at the expense of some small amount of cornering stability, and the more flexible sidewall is not as strong, but it's not my Mustang, and not a trail or tow rig.

Has anyone who went from E's to C's with similar use and driving conditions regretted the decision?

 

I hate dealing with people some days.

I had a guy come quote me on mud and tape last night.... We agreed on a price. He texts me today wanting me to pay to rent some equipment to do the job.

Hell no I ain't paying for that. He should have included that in his estimate.

I told him that I'll pay what we agreed upon, and not a penny more.

GRRRRR!

 

Reading RV forums and sites that list states one by one to learn what I have. I thought I'd be able to do what I did when travelling with teams in the 80's. I called the DC DMV and it took being passed along through a couple of people before getting to someone that even knew what I was asking about.

 

So just to be clear (I'm asking my buddy for specifics) you're just wanting a way to plate your RV because you will have no "home address" since your home will be the RV, correct?

Side note just spitballing... do you have any friends or relatives you can use their address to plate it? Don't know the legalities of it but maybe something to look in to.

 

That sucks White. I wonder if he decided he didn't want to do the job? What equipment would be needed for a basement? I'm sure the 16 foot ceilings in your basement like everyone has (somewhere) can't be a problem for a drywaller? lol

 

Actually I'm not going to be RV'ing. At least I don't think so. I just want to travel some.

I have a number of choices like you suggest for finding an address. The problem is the restrictions that come with the places like showing up every year for an emissions test to get a new plate. I have some friends I use to work with in Argentina and Brazil I'd like to see. I don't want to have to come all the way back for an emission test. That's why I'm focusing on S. Dakota. No state tax, cheap insurance and I'd only have to show up once every 5 years for a new drivers license. The state will also accept a mail forwarding address like your boss is using.

 

I would use a relative, myself, and go paperless on every damn thing I could. Utah lets you go paperless now, but you still have to get the sticker somehow.

He called it a bazooka so he could get done faster. I'm thinking that if you want to get done faster, that means you'll make more by the hour, so buy or rent one and make that part of your quote.

 

Paperless is fine once you've established residence.

LOL. I wonder if your response went over his head? Some people can't help but try to divide by zero. Know he's making nothing now.

 

Probably, LOL.

At one point I told my Buddy with a trans shop that he should worry about tools before profit. You are literally reinvesting in your company when you are upgrading or adding tools.

Some things you may not "need" to have, and I get that. But essential tools that make you quicker and more profitable, you know? - man, I'd use my profit for the investment.
