Full timer mail

We also are looking to join the full timers. Have been part timing since 2002 and love it. Plan to retire in 3.5 years. I have a question that may have already been answered and I missed it. What is the best way you experienced full timers have handled your mail?

    I'd like to do that too.
    Is there any legal problems with doing that?

    YOU KNOW.....I have never given any thought to that during the 14 years that we have been doing it.

  • Howdy!

    We've been fulltiming 10 years and started using Escapees mailing forwarding service a years before that. They have done a great job. You will get more responses but Escapees organization caters to fulltime RV's. Plus their mail service now has three states to chose as a domicile Florida, South Dakota, and Texas.

  • There are several mail services available for full time RVers. Escapees has mail service in TX, SD and FL. St. Brendans Isle in FL. Traveling Mailbox has addresses in many states. We went with the Passport America service (which I think is also the Good Sam service as well). Our mailing address is in FL. We chose that one based on the cost of health insurance at that particular zip code.

    Whichever service you choose, the basics are the same. You have your mail sent to the mail service address, and they will forward it to wherever you are. You pay the postage to do that. They will also shred and trash any selected mail items you direct them to do so. You may also have selected mail items scanned so you can look at them online.

    The costs vary between services, but overall, not greatly different.
  • I found a local mail service near my old home.
    They give me a street address and send my mail to me whenever I ask.
