Mail forwarding
I've been trying to manage our mail while on the road but it's not working so I'm looking for a service. Looking at My RV mail (good sam) or Escapees?

Just a note of caution to those using mail forwarding services.
Be sure to ask some hard questions of the service you are considering. How many employees they have. Do they have a plan in place to handle what happens in case of natural disaster or fire to their offices. How many employees do they have?
It's a good idea to get a feeling for how big and stable they are.
Now I was on a tiny Island in Greece this August when My Dakota Address went out of business and gave their customers literally ONE DAYS notice. For many including me this was a disaster as I could do nothing to put in a change of address from Greece.
To their credit MDA after many emails on my part finally took some action to help with the change.
Too many of these services are "Mom and Pop" businesses that are underfunded and poorly managed.
I would take care to use a bigger, better managed and well funded service. Be sure to ask some hard questions. Many many people were left holding the bag when My Dakota Address failed.
I am currently using My Best Address. I have had mixed results with them. I am getting mail for someone else which makes me wonder where MY mail may be going and I had a huge amount of difficulty in getting my truck re-registered at a higher weight rating. Overall it is much more professional than MDA and I am generally happy with them.
