I spend part of each winter in southern NM as I travel the west. But I'd never consider it for domicile due to their state income tax. I've also been told that to get a NM DL you must prove you actually live in the state, with rent receipts or property tax bill, & utility receipts, etc
I don't know of any RV specialty mail forwarders in NM, just generic UPS stores.
Plenty of fulltimers passing thru, visiting or camping in NM, but not many who want to domicile here, so no companies here to serve them.

But when a state doesn't openly welcome & acknowledge fulltimers, or have a history of dealing with large groups of them, it tends to create ongoing conflicts with every bureaucrat you have to deal with.
