Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is not just legal but encouraged. We own a house and rent it out in California so we DO pay income taxes on that... Now that our HOME is on wheels and we live wherever we are parked for the night we can be from wherever we want to be from. We legally avoid taxes by having a 'domicile' in South Dakota as well as drivers licenses, registrations, and we vote in South Dakota (a state with no income tax).
There is no state income tax on our pensions in South Dakota.
If we ever decide to make our house our home again we will make California our residence again and pay income taxes there again and pay the ridiculously high registration prices on our vehicles.
Remember AVOIDANCE not EVASION!

Exactly! Same here. We still own a home but are full time RVers. We don't live in our home and have not since 2011. We have a address in SD and paid 3% on our truck and the rate went up to 4% later on our RV. Our state would have been nearly 10% on the truck and .086% on the RV. We have SD drivers licenses and our Domicile is now SD.
Our insurance company does not care where we register our vehicles. I have been stopped by the State patrol for expired tabs on my 98 that I keep registered for when I am there to drive and showed him registration and SD drivers license. No problem.
Not evasion it's shopping for the best deal!
