Mail Forwarding while RVing

Dealing with mail while going full time in an RV is one of the challenges you will need to resolve before heading out for your own adventures. We did some research online and found that companies in three states are taking the lead on providing this service. Florida, Texas and South Dakota all have multiple companies to pick from. There are advantages and disadvantages to each state. The common advantage is that these states have no state income tax. We decided to go with South Dakota and set up an account with Dakota Post. We have been extremely happy with their service and their online forms to make changes. We have our mail sent to us twice a month. Dakota Post bundles up our mail in one package and sends it to the park where we are staying during that period of time. If you move around a lot in your RV, then you need to stay on top of giving your mail service the address where you will be at when your mailing dates hit. I set up two recurring calendar notices to remind me to fill out the online Dakota Post mailing form. One challenge that we ran into this week for the first time is an RV park that does not get standard mail service. We were surprised that our mail reached the town, but was returned because the park was not serviced by the US mail. Now we will be checking with the park before having our mail forwarded to them. Something to think about as you head out. Dakota Post link: https://dakotapost.net/
