Am trading in my apartment for a motor home full time. I would like to establish residency in a gulf or up the Atlantic coast as far as Virginia. My RV is registered with MN but once I find a state with low or no tax and establish residency (so I can vote Nov 8th) and any other governmental horrors that are hoisted on full time RVers. And any tips on first time driving something a bit bigger than my VW.

The primary full-time RV'er friendly states are Florida, South Dakota, and Texas. Each state has its own pluses and minuses, so you'll need to do some research to see which one best fits your personal and financial needs. The Full-time RVing section here would be a good place to start asking more specific questions.

FL has the lowest RV registration fees if that is a concern for you.

Congratulations to the OP! I can't wait to escape MN's high taxes by moving residency to SD or TX or FL when I retire!

However if you plan to vote November 8, better establish residency in the next three days. Our governor has declined to extend the October 11 voter registration deadline despite the hurricane.

Under 65 = too young for Medicare (except serious disability), so choices are private insurance or ACA/aka Obamacare are the options if not employed.

You're going to full time it in SD? Campers and motorhomes are not designed to withstand those extreme winter temperatures.

Residency has nothing to do with where an RV goes. If someone is "truly" full-timing they would not be staying at any one location very long anyway. Even if you only move occassionally it would likely be S. in the Winter and N. in the Summer. Full timing does not mean you must park the RV.
