Full-timing - Things to plan for and set up.
from mail drops/maintenance/must haves, living scenarios etc...

Actually there is some information on the topics you are looking for, in the main page of RV.net, on the Fulltiming you are contemplating. There is a very distinct different preparation and learning curve for doing this in a truck camper. Be sure the person giving you this advice and information in attuned to this difference. The blog that deltabravo shared is an excellent resource to look at if you are thinking of Fulltiming. David and Cindy Gilbert do a really great job in sharing their preparation and experiences there. What I am doing is very different from what you are planning on doing. Also check out these sources too,
TruckCampingMagazine.com
MelloMike’s Blog
are other great sources for finding out a lot of what you are looking for. Doing everything with Cliff Notes is not going to help in the long run. Right now you seem to be all over the place, in what you are wanting to do, thinking and able to do.
My recommendations? Do it slow and start with some long trips before selling everything and going out on the road. For that is what a Fulltimer really is. Also, having a stable revenue stream is more important than many will imagine. All the mail forwarding and other details are such a low priority if you are set on going Fulltime. Focus on your platform and ultimately what your needs are, not in what you want.
Good luck.
