draw back to fulltiming in NH?
I'm wondering what the down falls would be to staying a NH resident and a fulltimer? I am 32 so not worried about retirement income at the moment.

NH does not have an income tax or sales tax. It does have a room & meals (and rental car) tax, a business profits tax, interest and dividends taxes, and will nickel and dime you for licenses, fees and permits of every kind.
When I decided to go fulltime I looked at NH and what it would cost and decided fulltiming wouldn't work for me in NH. I then took stock of my 45+ years of living in Maine and New Hampshire, and decided that I was fed up with snow. I put the house on the market. Sold it in 45 days and left New England behind.
In WA the registration on my 2005 Class C costs $116/year and the 2009 smart car costs $45/year. Insurance is about $650/year on the MH and about $830/year on the car. Those numbers include the fact that my domicile is my private mail box.
That was my solution to fulltiming in NH.

The OP wants to know of any drawbacks to full-timing in NH, not 3,000 miles away across the continent.
