Will AZ remain your domicile? Or some other state?
One more consideration . . . Are you under 65 & have to buy your own health insurance? If so, forget about the standard domicile states.

We moved our domicile from SC to TX and use the Escapees mail service for a permanent and mailing address. Since we don't own real property in Texas (the tax rates for real property are high there), the tax situation is MUCH better for us than in South Carolina. There is no state personal income tax and keeping tags on the vehicles costs a fraction of what it did in South Carolina. The Escapees organization is great and we've received wonderful service from their mail folks. I've read accounts of full-timers who have set up domicile in Florida and South Dakota with similar outcomes.
Rob - DutchmenSportExplorerI'm not full timing, but my wife and I have discussed the possibilities. We came to the conclusion we'd use one of our kids address (wherever they were living) as a permanent address. Both our kids are OK with this, but probably also are just appeasing us, because they know full timing is not on the horizon YET. Still, that would be the best way ... use the address of a close relative.
If looking for tax breaks and all of that, then the suggestions above are probably better. - The three states most fulltimers use to "domicile" in are South Dakota, Texas, and Florida.
- tonymullExplorerWe are OK with the state so we are using the address of one of our daughters.
I've found that there are very few pieces of mail that cannot be converted to viewing online. But there are a few, and there's packages. We are away too long to depend on a PO box. This will work better for us, and another excuse to see the grandkids once in a while. - 2gypsies1Explorer IIIWe used the Escapees RV Club for 16 years. It gave us our Texas legal address through its mail forwarding service.

One more consideration . . . Are you under 65 & have to buy your own health insurance? If so, forget about the standard domicile states. - sdianel_-acct_cExplorermail forwarding services can provide address and mail service. www.myrvmail.com is located in Crestview FL and has lots of info on their website. If you're asking what state to use as residence there are too many variables and it depends on your individual situation. Things to consider: sales tax, auto and RV tag cost, health insurance, vehicle insurance costs and whether there is a state income tax. Many people choose SD, FL, TX. You can also get a personal mail box and address at a UPS Store. https://www.theupsstore.com/mailboxes/personal-mailboxes
