Check with the state you want . Remember that you can establish a " domicile " state in a state that you never live in or even visit ! Pick a state with favorable income and estate taxes as well as good auto tag fees and auto insurance .
If you're selling your present house you can domicile in any state. Just get a 'legal' address with a reputable mailing forwarding service. The Escapees RV Club in Texas has proven it's address you're given is a legal one in the court system. We used it for 16 years with no problems. Using that address you can get your vehicles registered, your driver's license, voter registration and you're good to go. When you're finished full-timing and have found the place where you want to live and have a house, just move to that state.
Keep in mind that now with all the new medical insurance issues if you're under Medicare age, explore the states carefully. Many states have now dropped their PPO plans where you can have medical care easily as you travel. You need to check carefully. If you're on Medicare you have no problem.
