Living full time in an RV?
Your setup has a few extra moving parts, especially when it comes to your RV, tow vehicle, insurance, mail and South Dakota residency.
The house is sold. But where is "home" now?
This is one of the details full time travelers often underestimate.
Once you no longer maintain a traditional home, you still need a dependable way to receive mail and manage the accounts and documents that continue to require an address.
Trying to solve each piece separately can become confusing quickly. Your Best Address helps you build the system before you are trying to fix it from the road.
Depending on your situation, you may also be considering
- South Dakota residency
- A South Dakota driver's license
- Vehicle registration
- Insurance
- Banking and financial accounts

- Voting
- Ongoing mail handling
What changes when you go full time?
Going full time is a systems change, not just a travel decision. These are the pieces of everyday life that still depend on an address. A dependable system for receiving mail while traveling is usually the first one to solve.
Your mailing address
Mail still needs a dependable place to land and a routine for reaching you while you travel.
Your driver's license records
Your license is tied to a state and an address, so it becomes part of your home base decision.
Your vehicles
Registrations, titles and renewals continue on the road and need an address that stays put.
Your insurance
Auto, RV and health coverage can depend on where you are based. Review your policies before you change anything.
Your banking and financial accounts
Banks and financial institutions have their own address rules, and some may ask for more than a mailing address.
Your voter registration, where applicable
Voting eligibility is decided by election officials and follows its own residency rules.
Your important legal and financial records
Estate documents, tax records and other paperwork need to stay current and reachable while you move.

Planning to make South Dakota your home base?
We created a complete guide specifically for full-time RVers.
Read the RVer Residency GuideMailing address vs. residential address
Your YBA mail forwarding address is a South Dakota mailing address provided through our USPS registered Commercial Mail Receiving Agency.
It is not the same thing as a residential property address.
Most YBA clients come to us for mail forwarding, travel and residency related services.
Some clients encounter a bank, financial institution, employer or other organization that specifically requires a residential property address.
For qualifying situations, Dakota Address is a separate service.
Not everyone needs Dakota Address. We keep these services separate so you can choose what actually fits your situation.
