Obviously, there are pro's and con's to each state as far as a fulltimer is concerned. Many chose one of the states that do not have a state income tax. Others buying an expensive coach may be more interested in a low/no sales tax state. No right answer for everyone. I have been a Texas resident most of my life so when I retired, I stayed a Texas resident. No state income tax was a big deal for me. Texas charges vehicle registration fees based on weight. Cars are typically in the $50-$70/year range and a Newell, depending on the actual weight (not GVWR) runs about $260 a year. Downside is you need to get an annual state vehicle inspection each year. Of course, since everyone should visit some part of Texas each year anyway, that shouldn't be a problem.

Whatever blues your gun.
