One thing you need to do is check out the cost of living here in AK. It is very expensive to live here and during the winter months, which is almost 8 months, a lot of the camp grounds are closed. There are some that are open during the winter, but along with lot space, you will also have to pay electric during the winter. Living in a RV up here can be done, but you need to think about the long cold winters and the cost.

He asked about Alaska and your statement is patently false regarding residency in Alaska.

If you're a full-time RVer you don't have to move to another state to declare residency. You don't have to own anything in that state.

To begin with you need a legal address and mail service forwarding companies geared to full-timers will give you a street address unique to only you.

Then you'll have a series of things to change over once you get that address such as driver's license, registrations, insurance, medical insurance, etc.

Texas, South Dakota and Florida are the easiest states to do all that for full-time RVers. However, South Dakota has limited medical insurance if you're not on Medicare. You need medical insurance that will cover you as you travel.

From Michigan, we chose Texas.

Florida, South Dakota, and Texas are the three most popular domicile states for RV fulltimers for very good reasons. Are there good reasons why you've ruled out those states?

are you just trying to see what is out there? this is your second state you want to become a resident in.

if you want to do residency in a state, move to that state, that is how you do it. You can always do a search on google for what each state requires for you to meet residency requirements. https://www.google.com/search?q=state+residency+requirements&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=state+residency+requirements+for+taxes&revid=2140087339

here is a great article:

Because of the Alaska Permanent Fund the residency requirement are very strict. You have to be physically present in Alaska for a calendar year and intend to remain a resident indefinitely. There are also other required criteria. Best find someplace else if you ain't gonna be around much.
