While I can't say what state would be best for your circumstances, keep in mind that with many states you might have to return to the state to renew your driver's license. Should Alaska be one of those that required you to return (I have no idea if they do), you would be traveling a long ways to renew.
I don't know if you are familiar with using a website's "Site Map" but a lot of times one can find a lot of information there. Howard and Linda's site map is at the link below.
You can also use the search feature for the forums to search for state residency and see what others have said of their experiences.
Good luck.

We are not Rvers yet, however we are doing everything we can to make it happen. My question is after researching the residency I had come across the idea of being an Alaskan resident. Though I am having troubles finding much information for this. If someone can please help me with this thought I would really appreciate it. Also, is this some that many of you have decided as well. My husband and I would love to take a trip to Alaska as well to stay a bit. It is in our list of ideas.

You need a street address in Alaska and need to apply for your driver's license in person and I don't think a rental car would cut it. Recently they allow you one 5 year mail renewal, before you always had to renew the driver's license in person. To get the dividend (annual money) you need to live in Alaska 6 months over the winter.

Thank you bjoyce. I thought I responded to this earlier today but it looks as though I might had click the wrong button.. At any rate, I think we have come to the conclusion that SD is our best answer. Though I think you hit the nail on the head with your information. ;D
