I can live in NH for 5 months, travel for 2, and live in MA for 5.

I'm not a lawyer, and your post makes sense. But the point remains the same--it is damn difficult for a summer resident (from Mass in your example) to declare NH their primary residence. They still need to spend 183 nights away from Mass
