I was wondering, if a couple are living on SS, move to Arizona, stay in a RV park long enough to get state residency, can one avoid paying state income tax (since Arizona does not tax SS benefits)? If a couple can get state residency using a RV park as their address, can they then take their RV and travel around outside the state and still maintain the state residency? If not, how long can they leave the state for and still maintain residency for tax purposes?
Can someone moving from a one state RV park to another state RV park, not be a resident of any state and avoid state income tax?

If you have an old beater RV this might work. But otherwise, Arizona will tax you shamelessly on the RV to the possible tune of thousands of dollars per year in vehicle license tax.

OK, we are getting there. What if one moved to Nevada? The goal is to not pay a state income tax. All one needs a state for is for a driver's license and auto registration. Maybe move to one of the states that doesn't tax SS, has lower registration fees. Perhaps a person could use a Mail Box Plus address? There must be a way.

That's what many full-timers do. You pick a state that has the tax structure that suits you and then go from there. I don't know if you are talking about just parking an RV and trying to establish residency when you really live somewhere else. That would be tax fraud and it would complicate your life too I would think. But if you are a legitimate full-timer, then yes. Check out a web site called escapees.com. A lot of full-timers are "from" Texas so they may have a favorable tax situation.

Nevada has no state tax. Many RVer's there.
Ponderosa is right, you may not get away with what you want to do in AZ.
