Full-time Traveler?
Full-time nomads often face unique legal challenges based on their lifestyle. Regulations that are easily met if you live in a house can be major hurdles for someone who lives full-time in their RV or boat. In conjunction with our mail-forwarding service, ESCAPEES:HOME can be an address used to connect you with a particular state.
Three Domicile and Residency Options For Full-Time Travelers
Choosing Your Domicile State & Residency
Everyone’s needs are different. When it comes to choosing a state of domicile, there are many variables to consider. These include income tax, health insurance, personal property, investments, vehicle registration and more. Texas, Florida and South Dakota are popular choices for RVers.

As much as we wish there was a magic formula to use to answer this question, there isn’t one. This is a personal question. It depends on you, your lifestyle, and your family.

We ask that our FL and SD customers use their FL or SD address (respectively) only for state and domicile-specific mail, such as driver license, vehicle registrations, voter registrations, etc. All other mail should be sent to the Texas mailing address.
