    As has been suggested. An RV for a residence. Could be anywhere. Heres the deal
    I moved my "domicile" to Texas 2 years ago. I am a member of the Escapees RV club. They will assist you with everything needed to have your domicile in Texas, CDL, voting,etc and mailing service which qualifies for official address in Texas. I park my RV anywhere I wish, have the mail service foward my mail to any Fedex office (kinkos) location in the country at my direction. Pay bills electronically.
    You can have multiple residences, but only one domicile. They serve over 25,000 fulltime RVer's this way every day.

    This is fantastic information.
    Sure, you must change your drivers license to your new state. Different states have different policies as to what you must do. Don't worry about it; just get it done. Post #51 and #53 are excellent for you. Get moving and get it done!
     
    AZS Thanks this.

    You need to grow up and take responsibility for your life. You need to put your stuff in your storage, not his problem. You should probably pay them a set amount of money if you want the ability to return between trips, Or rent a bach apt.

    Cut the apron string.

    I think the biggest issue is where your money is going. I am in your exact shoes with no car and almost no bills. While on the road i eat out constantly and get frappucinnos at starbucks 1-3 times every day and my money is still stacking up like crazy.

    Whatever habits you have you need to cut down on or stop now man.

    So, you don't care for your family and don't have many real friends.

    Looks like you get to live any gd life you want. That's a good thing.

    Now, for the time beings, take your hometime at your parents house, they owe it to you.

    Every day, look for an area that you want to live, the hell with taxes too.

    Live like you're on vacation. That is my motto.

    find yourself a town, contact a realitor and buy or build what you want.
    I stole my motto from Jay Thomas.

    I wish you the best,

    I plan on living out of the truck most of the time. Ill get rid of everything except my car. have all my mail sent to my brothers or to a post service. save money an buy a nicer larger fifth wheel ( used ) under 10k. then buy a truck an move it anywhere I want. You are living out of your truck now so you know how to do it. Ya just need to keep better track of your money. You got alot of great advise here ( FREE ) now just put it to use. Good Luck ! Oh and go to youtube an look up videos on trucking and see how people live with such things as microwaves and tvs.
