Here is a question that will end up being asked by the next time the US Census is taken. Are you a FT RVer or do you live in an RV full time. Yes, there is a difference. If you take the time to walk around many of the RV parks and campgrounds that offer long term residency you'll no doubt find those who are living in and RV as a means of survival. They aren't able to afford any other type of conventional housing. The economy in recent years lead to an increase of those moving into RVs as a permanent dwelling. They don't move and if they do it isn't far.
So the question will probably be phrased as to how many miles do you travel in a year with your RV. How many states have you stayed in the last 12 months. Good thing to keep receipts and records of your travels otherwise the state you might be in for six months or more will come looking for you to pay taxes in that state claiming you are a new "resident" of.
As states face greater financial shortages, they will once again start enforcing existing residency ordinances and create new ones...some in past years had as low as a 90 day rule. If you resided in their state for more than 90 days, you were considered a resident and required by that state to document yourself accordingly...license plates and drivers license and pay taxes!
Another task that the IRS will be handling...Taxes, Healthcare and Residency enforcement.
