The traveling full time "problem" affects me as wel. When some company or another asks, "Where do you live?" My response is preceeded by an audible shrug.. I seems that many companies actually plan to come visit me and are put out when I explain that my physical location is really of no concern to them. For example, banking. If I give a Texas address and agree to Texas terms and conditions, why would it matter that I spend 11 months a year in Europe. My mail arrives, I do my transactions online.. So what's the problem? Twentieth century thinking, that's what.

Those are most likely regulations enforced on to the banks. By the time it gets to the low-level employee that checks/asks/confirms your address, it's probably morphed a bit, and each employee has their own interpretation of what is "okay" when it comes to addresses.
