An estimate on the number of Full Time Rvers?
Just talking with a friend and looking for a guess. Another question: How many of those would use South Dakota as a residency? Thanks in advance

There's obviously no way to know how many folks live in RVs but as to hazarding a guess, at least for the U.S.A. :
If one is wiling to begin from the presumption that nearly all fulltime RVers likely park their rigs on property rented from or otherwise belonging to others, the closest estimate might be derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's "other" category as to type of structure renters occupy.
That figure as of the last census was 206,000. Table 4 here. The term "other" probably includes such nonstandard housing as boats etc. but it seems likely that a majority of those folks would be using an RV of one kind or another.
