The reason no one uses WA for a domicile is that you have to have a PHYSICAL address in WA.
There is currently no insurance plan anywhere that is friendly to permanent "travelers" in the US, but stay tuned.
We do not own a house, but use a house address of a relative, and will gladly "rent" a room if it comes to that. So far after 11 years not a problem.
We use Progressive Insurance, and also use UPS as both a physical address on most things, such as CC, mailing address, etc. All of this we have done for almost 11 years .. yes, one of the rigs has the UPS address as the "physical" address, the other two have the relative's address as the physical address.
So far have not had a problem with Federal, State or County regarding the addresses. We use the UPS mail forwarding as we request it via email with a tracking number. We simply give them a Post Office with General Delivery, or wherever we are staying as a viable address. Many, many private RV parks receive mail for registered guests, and a number of state parks will receive mail for volunteers at their parks.
Our health insurance comes thru the company we both retired from. Just have to ensure that the clinic will accept Medicare (haven't found a refusal yet), and our supplemental health insurance policy. The only burr in our full-time Lifestyle has been barbers or beauty shops.
As to our vehicle license tabs - we simply go on-line, give them a CC, and pick them up at a county seat across into the Washington Border ... yes, we have to plan our trips out of state, etc., but so far have had no snags (knock on wood).
