One thing to start thinking about is where you are going to "live". As a full timer you can live almost anywhere, but you will need some form of address for vehicle registration, taxes, voting, etc. We are just starting this process, but I have already ruled out Texas. While Texas has no income tax, I have read that you need a CD license to drive a motor home weighting over 25,000 lbs. My motor home is a 40' DP so I plan to avoid being a Texas resident. I am also going to avoid CA due to the high income tax. Right now our list of states is down to two, FL and AZ. FL because no income tax and AZ because we are here now and will not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get our vehicles registered. The need for a periodic smog inspection is also an issue since you will probably have to go to your home state when inspections are due. Good luck on your pending retirement.
