When authorities look at different elements to determine domicile, they look at everything from drivers' licenses to vehicle registration to the permanent addresses on those and your insurance, etc. Many states (Texas included) require that you do things like register your vehicles there before you can get a driver's license. With a mail service such as that provided by the Escapees RV Club, timing can be pretty flexible. We established a mail service address in Texas before we hit the road (from South Carolina) and it was several months before we showed up in Livingston to register the vehicles and get drivers' licenses. We made sure that the new Texas domicile address was what our bank and insurance company (all-in-one at USAA) had and were using, of course. As retired Army, we don't have to worry about healthcare, but that is an important consideration mentioned above when you're deciding on domicile. There's a lot of good information on the topic over on the Escapees web site (you may have to join Escapees to get to the good stuff, but it's not expensive and well worth it).
