If you are gone a lot, and your mindset is "full time", I think that would qualify.

One comment on taxes, tho. Being a CA person, even if your "domicile" is in TX or SD but you own rental property or have other sources of income in CA (other than a retirement payment) you will have to pay tax (and file a return) in CA on your CA income. Sorry....

I believe it is the same in most states that have tax. You can live anywhere, but if you have a business or rental income in another state, you have to file there.

we retired. we have a small "house" that meets the standard for a "house" with our insurance company and the state for homesteading
we have very low property taxes
and have our rv ready to go at anytime,
house insurance also saved us tns of $$ on teh rv if we had a full time policy, but if have a house and use the rv for recreational trips of extended timeframes its still covered. Plus we have a great place to come back to for maintenance and standdown periods, doc visits, etc

I think "fulltime" is short for "We live in our RV fulltime." I don't think it matters what else you own or whether you work or not.

We own real estate and still work and we call our selves fulltimers.

therein lies the difference. Prior to the rv craze that overtook the u.s. in the 90s, fulltiming were people who lived and traveled fulltime in an rv, their only home.
Since it is a very popular thing now to fulltime, and has become the "in thing" todo, plus the low cost compared to stationary living, I suspect most that use their rvs a lot, consider themselves sometype of fulltimers.
I do not see where it would hurt anyone to call themselves anything, as long as they do not force it on you.
Call me what you wish, but please call me when the meal is ready.

Exactly - if you live in your RV you're a fulltimer.

We don't own anything we can't move, BUT
Define "full-time"? Why?
