One of my first questions is where do you do laundry? I've looked at the little counter top washers and while they look like something from a doll house I question the worth. We will be moving in to our 07 Jayco 25z and there would just be no where to put that fancy washer drier combo camping world sells. Secondly do most of y'all use your gas heater through the winter or try to use an electric heater and gas as a back up? And finally what's the easiest way to get the mail? We've been wanting to do this for quite a while and now with my grandmothers cancer coming back we think it will be wise to make our way back towards Georgia to be closer to family
Laundry: we did 14 months of campground laundry facilities. Cost was $3-6 per load. My family of 4 went through 6-9 loads a week. We opted for the weight and expense of a combo unit- very small loads, but fixed cost. It's radical, but you could consider replacing a love seat or dinette and installing it there.
Heat: we mix gas and electric. We don't pay for electricity and it's usually more cost effective to use space heaters. Watch electric usage and your breakers; especially as it seems that's a 30amp rig.
Mail: there are a ton of mail services. We personally use St. Brendan's Isle out of Green Cove Springs, FL.
Much love to you and your grandmother's cancer. It's an ugly beast.
