We have pretty much decided to sell our house by April 2015 and become homeless, living in our RV.
Do you or can you claim the state you were living in as your home state for awhile until you settle down in another state (ACA is my reason for asking)? We live in WA state but eventually will likely claim Florida or Texas as our home base as they have no income tax and good portable ACA policies. I am unsure if you can become a resident without at least visiting the state (for DL pictures, vehicle registrations, etc.). We would like to spend the spring and summer up in the northern states, maybe go across the top of the USA, then head south for the winter.
Anyone with experiencing pulling up roots but not settling back down, how quickly did you choose your new home state? I know we have only had a short time for ACA experiences so we may end up being pioneers here. Has anyone tried to get residence in Florida without actually traveling to Florida? If so, how did you handle DL and vehicles?
