I store most of it in the shredder.........
While we travel in the MH for about six months out of the year (leaving again this weekend), we won't be giving up the house. Having said that, while I've been home this time I decided I have way too many paper records left from tax filings, sold houses and vehicles, investment statements from several different companies I worked at and broker statements, and way too much other paper records so I tried to wear out my shredder. Trash pick-up is Monday morning and there hasn't been any room left in the large trash bin for several weeks.
Having said that, on the records we're keeping or want with us while traveling, we scan them. You can buy a very decent printer / scanner on Amazon like the Cannon MX922 all-in-one Printer that scans very well for $84.99 to include shipping. When I took out the very large TV mounted in the front of the MH, I mounted the flat screen TV on hinges and one of these now sits behind the TV.
Then, store everything on a very small Western Digital 4TB hard drive for $109.99 - smaller sizes are cheaper.
Actually you should use two of these, or maybe three. Take one with you, leave one with a friend, relative, or neighbor and one at home if you still have a house. We have friends that stored everything on a laptop after they sold the house. We'll someone broke into their Toad while they were traveling and stole the laptop.
