I don't know what your incentive is to make the numbers favor NH, but its clear anyone who thinks NH domicile will save them 10k is using funny math. As my statistics professor always said, we can interpret the numbers to point to whatever conclusion we prefer.
You can accuse me of whatever you wish; the bottom line is that there is zero reason for me to use "funny math."

If as you said, you're going to be a "true" fulltimer, with no homebase, & moving around the country; then neither winter nor state sales tax have any relevance to ones domicile choice. ... As a fulltime traveler, how do you save $5000-$8000 in NH sales tax when you're rarely in NH or any other state long enough to benefit from a lower sales tax.
Except that it does. We're buying tow vehicle & 5th wheel right now. Will buy another vehicle in the next year. We also have a business.

... Your domicile state has nothing to do with where you like to spend your time while traveling.
Except, as others have said, if that state requires you to do certain things in your home state to establish/maintain residency.

With the only real difference being in medical insurance costs, which unless you're on Medicare or covered by a past employer, is a rats nest of ongoing changes for everyone in any state. I haven't seen anyone saving $4000 in ACA premiums by just changing states. In many states the premiums vary by County more than they do from state to state.

No funny math. Just the experience of a decade as an engineer, a decade as an engineering prof, and the past 5 years as CFO doing due diligence to make a decision for my family.
