This does bring up an interesting point regarding state residency. If one began just traveling around the country in a motor home, leaving one’s home state and selling all real estate there, how could one get a driver’s license and plates when not living in any state long enough to establish residency (usually 3 to six months)?
Illegals acrosss the country seem to have no problem doing this. My cousin’s wife was involved in a car accident a few years back that crushed her knee. That guy had no problem getting a license and owning a car without insurance. And she is left holding the bag for her medical care.
What an interesting question:
Voting residency? Mail delivery? Renewing drivers’ license & tags? Paying local & State taxes? IRS mailing address?
Guess you could always claim you are an illegal immigrant & problems solved;)

Simple, claim you are an illegal alien and they won’t ask any further questions. You can also drop any insurance on your motor home. Need tags? Steal them from the nearest Wal Mart. Claim you live in a sanctuary city. Pick one. Hell, when you need money just drop by a welfacre office and load up. Life is good when you are an international migrant with no papers.

You rent a store front mail box in Texas (or one of the other other no-income-tax states) and have your mail forwarded to wherever you plan to be for a while. In Texas, you can renew your driver's license through the mail at least once (you do have to show up every decade or so to get a new picture) and you can get your license places renewed through the mail (it's just a 2 x 3 sticker).
As for the IRS, I guess they send me something, but I file my taxes electronically, so I don't need the little label they require for mailed returns.
Remember the first President Bush claimed a motel room in Houston as his permanent residence? It was just a fancier variation on this theme. And no telling how much it saved the Bush family in taxes they otherwise would have had to pay to Maine.
