One method used to be, probably still is, to choose a campground in a
place you like, and in a state with taxes friendly to your financial
situation. You have a physical address, they forward your mail every
couple of weeks, you get to vote, and so on. How often you have to
actually be in the state varies from state to state, but there are web
sites and pamphlets available to give you advice. For many people, a
state with no income tax is best, since you don't have much property or
buy much stuff there, property tax and sales tax rates don't have much
effect.

Get a motorglider, and the nomadic life can be pretty good!

Sooo, what states are better for owning a glider in? I've heard that
Montana doesn't charge a tax when you sell or buy a glider there.
Other states charge a tax on the glider if you move there with it.
Anybody know what the most glider friendly states are? How about
Texas and Florida? Texas doesn't have an income tax but the property
taxes on houses seem very high, at least in the Dallas to McKinney
area.
