Is your Driver's License in Danish, or do you now have some kind of multi-language European Driver's License?

If the info on it isn't in English, you will probably need  an International Driving Permit, which you have to get in your home country before you come over.

As far as registering your van here in the US, you might consider joining Escapees in Texas.  They have a mailing address and mail forwarding service that Texas recognizes as a valid address for such things as getting a driver's license, car registration, and so on.  Texas is very popular with the full timing crowd because there is no state income tax there.

And there's another thing.  You've hinted that you might like to stay longer than 6 months, and mentioned that you get disability payments.  I have no idea whether your disability income would be tax exempt here in the US or be considered as taxable income.  Probably not important if you're just a six month tourist, but possibly important if you stay longer.  The US embassy in Denmark can probably answer your questions on that subject.  If it turns out that it is taxable, then the choice of state you register your car in might be important.

Hi Optimistic
I need an international driverlicens and that is easy to get here. If i want to stay in US for always, I dont know. That I have time to find a solution at later :)
Thanks about the Texas idea. Do you live in Texas? Can I visit you there?
I know that I must pay danish tax all the way with my money from Denmark and that is ok. If I earn money by working on the road by you, I must learn what to do by the tax:)

No, I live on the east coast and am still pre-launch.  Hope to be on the road by this next winter.  we might meet up at the RTR.
