What to do with the mail
We are getting ready to retire. The house is up for sale and when it is sold we are out of here. We would like to get rid of sticks and bricks for about a year. A problem that I am having is what to do with the mail. There is no one who we trust for putting them down as a new address to have our mail forwarded to. Any suggestions on what to do. would be appreciated. Joe903Views0likes4CommentsWhat to do with the mail

Thank you for the replys I am looking for one to put on the back of our class C. We are getting ready to retire and get rid of the sticks and bricks. Looked at the Honda 150 cc scooter, they want $3,500.00. I can buy four of the taos for that price. I can turn a wrench.400Views0likes0CommentsRe: Taking the plunge to full timing & need advice

It had a small kitchen, wet bath and a memory foam full Queen sized mattress. On rainy days it was a bit cramped but otherwise we spent a great deal of time outside. We also had plenty of room for 4 seasons of clothing, food, misc supplies, camera gear, archery equipment. We also had dress clothing and luggage in case of emergencies. We did exactly the same thing with the house. I sold the house, immediately retired from work and stored the excess junk in a storage locker. We did very well financially. With a small RV and solar power, we did not need hookups. Instead we stayed at Walmart when traveling and most of the destination sites were low cost national parks, national forests or BLM land. We averaged well less than $10/night for campground fees. Propane was about $10/month for hot water and occasional use of the furnace. I rarely needed the generator for about $5/month. Food was less expensive than when we lived in a house since we tended to eat simpler. We did eat out several times a month but those expenses were minimal, mostly diners and inexpensive restaurants. The big expense was diesel fuel. We tended to stay in the same area for several weeks so that expense was moderate.575Views0likes0Comments
