We have used Escapees mail service for over 12 years. Now that we are no longer living in our Newell, we are considering dropping it but they have been great. For us it was a no brainer since we were Texas residents anyway. You can use their mail forwarding service (with a TX address) without having to change to Texas as your domicile but it is wise to have as much consistency in one state as possible (main address, drivers license, insurance, vehicle registration, voting etc). That way there is less chance of running amuck with the taxman. There are folks that have a relative that serves as an address but it can get dicey with voting, etc., unless that is the state you have lived in for a long time anyway and you keep your registration and license there.
On the road, we maintained the Texas (Escapees) address as our voting, drivers license, registration, etc. We even went back to Texas to serve jury duty. (Livingston is used to having a large number of registered voters that are out of state and will work with you to reschedule your jury duty to a time you can be in Livingston)
