I am not a full timer RV'er but in reading up on how to do it is interesting and all sounds quasi-illegal to me...
You read about residency fraud coming from States like Texas and South Dakota... Using the street address of a mail forwarding business sure sounds fishy to me...
States will not accept a PO BOX NUMBER for drivers license for example.

Roy - Sounds like to me your research has been faulty. For example, in Texas the SKP's organization took the state to court and their Personal Mailbox service (not a PO Box) is LEGAL address for any and all functions - voting, car registration, driver's license, etc.
Also in S.D. the state excepts the mail services PMB's as legal addresses for License, voting and registration. One only needs to sign a legal document stating you are a full time RV'er and PLAN to return to the state when you settle down. I plan to do that but my needs may change when I eventually do get off the road. Nothing illegal about that, people are free to move anywhere they so desire.
Sounds fishy? Hmmm... using a friend or family members address is the fishy one. And most probably illegal as a drivers license address, voting address, etc.
Do more research in the mail services in Texas and SD and get informed about the state's laws.
