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 can forward your mail to a mail forwarding service exactly the same as you would forward your mail to a winter address. If the OP knows this is temporary, then forwarding to a private mail box sounds like the perfect solution.
And with mail forwarding services you have to 'change' your address on EVERYTHING, bank statements, utilities, credit cards, etc. Only to have to 'change it back' when the OP returns.
What you can't do with a mail forwarding service such as SBI is you can't forward the mail from them to a new address. i.e. once you've made the mail forwarding service your permanent address, you can't use the USPS to forward to a new address. You would then have to "'change' your address on EVERYTHING."
The USPS will forward your first class mail for one year to the new or temporary address -- 60 days for periodicals. When the OP returns, he can simply cancel the forwarding.
