In 2010 I sold my house in Manchester, NH and moved to Olympia, WA. In early 2011 I bought a Class C, traded my truck for a smart car (toad) and went fulltime. WA has no income tax. Oregon has no sales tax. It's a nice drive down I-5 to Oregon for those big ticket items.
Winter west of I-5 in WA and west of I-5 in northern OR is very doable. You just have to get used to the winter rain on your RV's roof. This is my 2nd winter in Sequim, WA. Sequim is in Washington state's Banana Belt. Winters are mild here compared to other parts of the state. Sequim has a herd of Roosevelt elk, sea food (Dungeness crab), coffee shops, bird watching, and the Lavender Festival. WA makes it easy to fulltime in this state.
