The same RV mail forwarding services that fulltime RV'ers use often also offer service for long timers. Since you're based in Florida, a company like St. Brenden's Isle might be a good choice. After you set up your account, you would just use a temporary forward with the USPS to send your mail to SBI instead of permanently changing your address with all your contacts. An added benefit is that the USPS does not forward junk mail. Periodically, you then just ask SBI to forward your mail to your current or next location. If the park does not accept guest mail, have it sent to General Delivery at a nearby post office.
We had this same conundrum in 2008 when we started traveling about six months each summer and since we only live about 15 minutes from the St. Brendan's Isle (SBI) office have used them every since then. We maintain 12 months a year service with SBI and have done a change of address with most everyone, especially financial such as credit cards, and then each April we also do a temporary change of address with the post office so that any mail that does come to the S&B will be forwarded to SBI. You just have to make sure whenever ordering items online to use different shipping and billing addresses. We only have our mail sent to us from SBI about once a month or less as we have them scan anything that looks like it needs immediate attention. It has really worked well for us for the last 10 years.
