I've thought about going mobile to avoid the tax man after retiring

I suppose I could park in an Austin Walmart lot for a few nights a year
Legally, you need 6 months and a day of residency, and a driver's license (it helps anyway) which requires (usually) a bill sent to your new address.  I looked into this vis a vis Florida, I was going to empty my IRA at once, pay taxes on it, and then move wherever I wanted.  Buy a cheap condo, establish residency, convert IRA to a Roth (etc.) and move to somewhere else now with zero tax liability (nearly).

I don't know, you'd maybe have a PO Box.  You usually need an address somewhere to get bills etc.

Before I met my wife, I thought I might "uproot" and get a camper van and just see the world.  She's not the camping type, at all.  She's the Hilton type.

I had to show a bill here to get a DL showing established residence.

perhaps a PO box at a location that you could list as a physical address

pick a state with fewer taxes

no property tax

Yes, "full-timing" in an RV is quite common.  There are numerous online message board forums, where people discuss it, and give out their tips,  tricks, and best practices.

I wouldn't mind the driving, but living in a camper would get old, I think

sure, I could visit many places and play many golf courses, but I'd need a traveling golf partner

no good options for that currently

property tax isn't that bad in a small Iowa town

around $2,000 a year

I'm not sure I agree with the conclusions made about the designed world, but that was an interesting blurb on the Airstream.  I have a half-dozen books about the origins of the Airstream, its vintage kin, travel trailers in general, and the RV life as a whole.  It's all a little bit fascinating to me.
Would you care to elaborate on your questions about the conclusions?
I'm just curious. I don't have any investment in any of the conclusions being correct.

on a different note if you guys are like me you have a lot of remote controls in your life

I have a remote control caddy and 6 different remotes

yes I know I could probably consolidate these by getting a master programable remote but Im too lazy

anyway because of the number of remotes I require double and triple A batteries

I had a whole pile of batteries of which I didnt really know which were good and which were bad

I solved this problem by getting something called a Battery Daddy from Amazon for only $14

This thing not only stores the batteries but has a battery tester to make sure your stored batteries are good

Incidentally did you know the shelf life of an akaline battery is aprox 8 years

anyway this is a picture of it:

Yeah, I have four for the TV, DVD, stereo,cable box.  The one with the cable box does the normal things, but not the stereo, which has the largest remote controller of the bunch.  The 8 years figure is probably for reaching half power in a battery, I'm guessing.
