Next year we sell all and set off in our camper. We are residents of Washington state, which isn't horrible as far as income tax (none) and vehicle registration.
We are probably going to be all over the place. Great lakes in the summer, Alaska one summer, southwest in the winter, Florida in the winter.
Should we be in a hurry to nail down a new state to declare residency or ? I am seriously considering Florida as I am really looking forward to spending some time near the ocean there. Much warmer water than here in Seattle.
Alaska has potential, especially with the oil permafund check, but we are only going to spend about 1.5 years up there and likely would not even qualify for the check.
What would you do? Stick with Washington, go with Florida, Alaska, Texas, ? We need to figure out mail forwarding for Washington if we keep this state. It does not seem to be one of the big three for rubber tramps (Florida, Texas, SD)...
