Getting our mail on the road:
One of our first concerns when planning to live full time in our motorhome was how we would get our mail. Nowadays you can pay many of your bills online and correspond with people via email, but there are still items that must come through the mail. We researched various options and found Escapees RV Club: a total network support for all RVers. They have many services to offer including:
–Mail Service: personal mailbox with forwarding, sorting, and online access options
–Parking: campground locations, discounts, and route planning
–Education: magazines, forums, and classes to help you learn about everything RV
–Events: regional chapters, social groups, and events throughout the year
–Roadside Assistance: just like cars, RVs need mechanical assistance on the road
–Xscapers: a club for working-aged Rvers who still work at least part time on the road
As new RVers, we found much to take advantage of with Escapees. Our main use, though, has been the mail service—they are licensed by the US Postal Service to receive our mail and to forward it to us. When we sold our house, we changed our address of record to our Escapees address in Livingston, Texas. Having this as our domicile address allows us to vote, register vehicles, pay taxes and other things you need an address for when you don’t really live in one place.

While traveling we can call Escapees to check on any mail received—they will tell you what’s there, or you can see it online if you choose that option. Then we can decide to have it forwarded to wherever we are staying. Many campgrounds will let you forward mail to their location, or if we are staying near family then we can use their address. We have found Escapees mail service to be an easy solution to all our mail needs on the road.
Sounds like a really great service and idea! Thanks for sharing the information.
