I'm not going to try and talk you in to anything, but I will try to add a little explanation.
I full time and have Florida as my domicile state. I filled out some forms. That's it. I don't have to do anything. I really don't even have to come back here if I don't want to, but it's winter so . . . .
I'd have to dig out a map to find my official residence.
I believe most of the popular domicile states are like this - they don't really require you to do much at all once you have established them as your domicile state.
Highly agree. If you choose the right state there are minimal requirements and you definitely don't have to live there. Full-timers travel. That's the whole concept.
If you want to move to another state and live in your RV then you're 'living' in that state just like another homeowner and you will have different requirements. You don't have to have a house to live in a state year-round. You're actually moving to that state. You're really not considered a full-timer. For practical and legal purposes, don't confuse the two terms.
The way I see it is that TX/SD/FL became RV friendly over time. As well, it took RVers to dig in to all of these issues to figure it out. I'm just digging into another state in depth. I looked all over the web for any other discussions on this and none were sufficient for me to feel it was/wasn't a good choice. NH would be very beneficial to add to the list of pro-RV states, if this works out.
