Full time RVers have many advantages over the house-bound population.  Not only do they get to travel and enjoy new vistas, meet interesting people, and relish new experiences, they can also choose exactly where they want to declare home!

However, our country’s legal system was established around the premise that people are stationary in their places of residence. 

Next to your social security number and drivers license, the most required piece of information that all levels of authority and government officials want is your physical address.

Enter the full time RVer.  All you want is the freedom to go your own way, as financially prudent as possible. Of course, stretching your income is also important.  With today’s hard economic times, getting the biggest bang for your buck is mandatory. 

To that end, it’s only common sense that you would try to find a state that has its taxation system set up to your advantage.

Living fulltime in an RV is not all fun and games. Occasionally, we do have to take care of the business end of things, just as we used to do living in a house.

How do you get your mail? How do you pay your bills? How do you keep in touch with friends and family? How do you get your medications? Those are some of the most asked questions we get.

The question is... if you're a fulltime RVer, where do you vote?

In the state where I live (Tennessee), this is a very hot topic right now.

As you know, you have to claim a permanent place of residence in order to obtain a valid drivers license to drive an RV. However, despite the fact that many hold a driver's license and register their vehicles in a particular state, they otherwise have no permanent presence in that state.

Therein lies the controversy.
