Where to register/insure when full time

The typically preferred states for establishing a domicile for fulltiming are Florida, South Dakota, and Texas. All three have advantageous tax laws, but there are some differences to consider when deciding which one fits your needs best. Vehicle and health insurance differences are another consideration. The usual method of establishing a domicile in a given state involves setting up a mail forwarding address at one of the commercial forwarders in the state of choice, and then registering your vehicles and obtaining drivers licenses there. Each state has its own additional requirements for domicile documentation, but the three states mentioned make it pretty easy. The Full-time RV'ing section here would be a good place to ask more specific questions.

Just curious (I'm not full timing anytime soon) everyone talks about the advantage of registering in Montana. How come South Dakota, Florida, and Texas but not Montana?

Thank you both for the info.....

Fl, TX, and SD are the three most popular.
