Hello

[RickV1955]

New here and wanted to introduce myself....I am currently a police chief in Massachusetts and will be retiring in a couple of years...my wife and I are looking to sell our home and take to the road for (at least) a couple of years in either a motorhome or fifth wheel (we are leaning toward a fifth wheel right now, as they seem to have more room....we do want as big an area as possible where we will be living in it year round).
We are looking for information from people who are doing this (or have done it) who can give us "newbies" some tips...show us the ropes.  We would like to know what State (or possibly States) is the best to "base" out of (residency)...so far, we've heard that Texas is one of the best?  We would like to know just exactly how to go about establishing this "residency"...I can tell you that "Taxachusetts" is definitely NOT the place to be if you don't have a strong desire to donate most of your money to the government...Other things like info on Nationwide TV/internet...getting mail...best campgrounds...what to do, or maybe what not to do....any and all info would be helpful....
Thanks in advance.
