The Crestview Fl mail forwarding company IS a physical address.
Last September it took use only 1.5 hrs to obtain our licence and establish domicile/voting rights at the Crestview County Office which also has a DMV office (not the main DMV office is Destin. MyRvmail.com has also been good to work with.
We are planning on buying a new hdt and thought the sales tax would be better than illinois where we live now. I wonder if they can change a title from truck to rv without going there.
If you plan to continue to live in Illinois and keep the new truck there, you could very well have problems when your local authorities discover your truck isn't registered where you live.
we are selling our home and property and getting out of Illinois. Still looking at South Dakota domicile. Haven’t talked to anyone about LLC in Montana don’t know if it would be worth doing

From reading this forum for nearly a dozen years I would say for most people it is not worth doing an LLC. If you already have a business it might be but an LLC is a type of company and that has many implications regarding commercial licensing, insurance, etc.

Not worth doing if you're going to change domicile to SD. Plus, there is an annual fee to keep the MT LLC.
We are thinking South Dakota I didn’t know you didn’t have to go to register vehicles. We are planning on buying a new hdt and thought the sales tax would be better than illinois where we live now. I wonder if they can change a title from truck to rv without going there. Anyone know?

You're going to have to search for the HDT to RV info. I no longer have the link. There are 7 (or so) items your HDT must have to be considered an RV in SD. Whether you can get the title changed long distance, I don't know. Maybe use a keyword search on the HDT forum for it. There may be one or two forum members who claim it can't be done anymore. That is not correct. Unless SD stopped doing it within the last 12 months.
A few things nowadays require having a real physical address. If your relatives in Florida are willing for you to use their address for those few things, I would lean that way. I would still use a mail forwarding service for everything else.

We sold our house in Alabama in Sept 2019 and in Oct 2019 we declared our domicile in Fla, (St Brendans Isle address in Green Cove Springs), registered our motorhome and truck in Fla, applied for and got Fla drivers licenses and registered to vote in Clay County Fla. We got this all done in one day in person at 3 locations in Green Cove Springs, Fla. One month later we applied for CCW permits as well. We received our CCW cards in 3 weeks.
One interesting thing was we had to register our motorhome before applying for our drivers license. (That is backwards from normal Fla residents). The Clay County offices were well versed in the procedure. The motorhome registration must occur before the drivers license application because they now use the tag number on the motorhome as the Street Address on the drivers license.

when we got here to the rv Park we were talking to a gal here, and my wife told here we might go to Texas to domicile, and she didn't give a reason, just said stay away from Texas, not sure what she had against Texas
In my rv'ing travels around the country, I met lot's of folks who didn't like Texas or Texans. Same is true of other States also. We all have our biases. Sometimes the bias comes from what we've heard, sometimes from our own experiences. You could do worse than making Texas your domicile.
On doing more research registrations and yearly renewals from what I’ve seen on web sites are kind of higher in South Dakota. Cheaper here in Illinois but the sales tax on vehicles is 6.25 from what I’ve seen our drv we have now is the highest travel trailer renewal that Illinois has and its 50$. Rv are 102$. But a lot of it is going up 50 dollars the first of the year. Need to make some calls and talk to real people at the dmv. One web site said Illinois plates for cars are 78 dollars they went to 101 a few years ago and 150 in 2020
