One of the most interesting things I have ever found in the law is the lack of the definition of the term "legal residence". I have found things like residence address (the address of one's residence - not much help) and non-resident (a person who is not a resident of this state - again, not much help). But I have never found a definition of what is your residence. Obviously, I could be missing something somewhere.

But, according to the Code Construction Act, a term that is not defined takes on its normal meaning. My understanding of the normal definition is the place you intend to return to when you say you are going home. That may or may not be much help to a person on the road. But I have found that I always have some place I consider home. I would ask you if you would still think of yourself as a Texan when you are traveling. If so, I would say that Texas is your home and therefore, your residence.

I would take some of the already given advice and rent a P.O. box, probably at a store that offers mail forwarding services, and leave my DL, car registration, voter registration, and CHL all at that address. That would make it easier and you could still get your mail when you plan on being at one location for more than a few days.

And even with this, I would also second the motion to check on an RV forum and see how other permanent RVers have solved this problem.
