Mail Forwarding?
Greetings, we'll be going on an extended (8 mo's) road trip this summer and I'm curious how other RV'ers have handled having their mail forwarding. We live in Florida and we'll be traveling out west ...

You do NOT need a mail forwarding service if you are just going on a long trip and it is NOT permanent.
The United States Post Office offers 'temporary' mail forwarding for FREE.
Go on line to the US Post Office site on line and click on mail forwarding. You can have your mail forwarded to a relatives house and then they can send it to you upon your phone call where you are at general delivery and/or read it to you, or scan it and send via email.
The mail forwarding is for 4 month increments and renewable for every 4 months thereafter right on line. And you 'maintain your home address' for when you get back.
AND the more important thing is you DO NOT have to 'call' each and every one of your accounts to change your home address for each and every one of your bills which you would have to do if you use a service. And then have to change the address again when you get back. :R
From your post you are not full time RV'ing without a physical address, you are taking a long trip and maintaining your home address.
So all you need is a temp forwarding of your mail.

Be sure to click 'temporary' change of address.
Have a good trip! I always wanted to do Alaska and didn't get a chance to. Bring back lots pictures for us! :C
That may work fine if you stay in one place. But if you tend to move around you need a mail forwarding service other than the USPS
