It's not whether you're requied to hav a fixed address.

Most of the questions you raise (drivers license, state income tax, etc.) have to do with residency. Legally, once you have established residency in a given location, you are still a resident there until you establish a new residency, which means presence and intent to remain. If you travel around for years, you would still be a resident of where you are now.

The point of an address is to make sure that you can get the necessary information to continue to live -- drivers license renewals, bank statements, credit card bills, pension plan payments, whatever. Few people in this society can survive without somewhere to get mail, and I suspect you aren't one of the exceptions.

So while having a fixed address isn't, as far as I know, a requirement anywhere, having a consistent address is (which is what makes private post boxes so popular, since they will do things like paying your bills and forwarding mail to wherever you are this week that the post office won't.)

Are you thinking of giving up your apartment and travelling for a while, or is this just one of those maybes like moving to Victoria turned out to be?
