Go full-time in an RV: domicile, mail, insurance, and the first six months
A domicile state chosen and established with license, registration, voter, and tax filings, mail forwarding and banking set up, full-timer insurance and health coverage that works across state lines secured, a rig confirmed against the way you will actually travel, and a realistic monthly budget built from real quotes, reserved for the first 90 days, and reconciled against your first month of spending.

Who it's for
Retirees and remote workers who have an RV, or have chosen one, and are selling or renting out the house — people who have solved the vehicle and not the paperwork. Also useful for snowbirds and seasonal travelers who want a permanent legal base while on the road.
About this playbook
This playbook takes you from a fixed address to full-time RV life without tripping on the paperwork that sinks most transitions: choosing among Texas, South Dakota, and Florida as your domicile, establishing license, registration, voter, and tax filings there, redirecting mail and banking, and securing full-timer RV insurance plus health coverage that follows you across state lines. You finish with a first-season budget built from real quotes, a reserved first 90 days of stays, and that budget reconciled against your first month of actual spending. The path is five stages of research, phone calls, and forms, most steps a single sitting of work. It does not cover buying or inspecting a used RV, finding remote work, or preparing the first part-year tax return; those sit in companion playbooks, and this one stays with the logistics of becoming a resident of nowhere with a legal home somewhere.

Details
What you need first
An RV you will live in, owned or already chosen; the house sold or rented out, or the sale underway; income that does not require daily physical presence in the old state; US citizenship or permanent residency with a Social Security number; and a clear title or manageable financing on the vehicle you will register.
