“Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”
~The Motto Of The U.S. Postal Service
Did you know that RV Campers have the ability to get their mail forwarded to them, at their destination anytime, anywhere with affordable Mail Forwarding Services?
What is an RV Mail Forwarding Services?
It is a service you hire, that collects your mail, bundles it, and redirects the mail to your RV destination. If preferred, some offer mail viewing online, scanning, filter out the junk, and even shredding unwanted mail. Think about the convenience of mail delivery to your RV destination and rest assured that your mail can follow you where ever you travel to next.
Sure you have likely signed up with your credit card institutes, among others to obtain mail Online, but there are other pieces of mail that require delivery the old fashion ‘snail mail’ way, and many folks prefer physical mail rather than Online mail anyways.
Many RVers enjoy this service, so much so, that there are now so many RV Mail Forwarding service providers available to choose from.
If you don’t mind waiting until you return home, you can always have a family member or neighbor collect the mail for you. You can also pay the post office to hold your mail between specific time periods too. But, if you’d rather receive physical mail instead, or be able to read ALL your incoming mail Online, then an RV Mail Forwarding Service will be a great option.
In the States, there is Florida, South Dakota, and Texas that provide mail forwarding addresses for you which accommodate “domicile” state requirements. See FAQ’s at bottom of this article for more information.
So how can you get mail delivery when you are in your RV and living away from home for a long period-of-time?
Here’s a list of RV Mail Forwarding Services and an overview of each to choose from:

FAQs
What is a USPS 1583 and why do I need one?
A USPS is known as “U.S. Postal Service”. They require commercial Mail Receiving Services to obtain a USPS 1583 for any client that requires them to receive, open, scan, ship, and dispose of their mail as per their request. A USPS 1583 needs to be notarized by the client (you). The Notary seal approves that you are authorizing the Mail Forwarding Service of your choice to receive your mailÂ
What is BBB?
BBB is an acronym for Better Business Bureau. Its a non-profit organization to build trust between customers and the businesses to adhere to codes of conduct (service, pricing, problem-solving, satisfaction)
What does *Domicile mean?
Full-time RVers that live in their RVs and travel like nomads across the country face a challenge than those who have a home rooted in one spot. The legal system ‘requires’ you to have a fixed location with a legal address in order to obtain legal documents such as driver’s license and a passport, insurances, financial institutes, paying taxes, voting, as so on. Therefore, full-time RVers need to appoint a Domicile as a permanent residence.
For legal advice on domicile and estate planning contact an association that specializes in this and be sure they provide a free consultation.
Final Thoughts:
RV traveling is a liberating experience especially when you are not tied down to mail concerns. Having your mail delivered to you in a traditional manner or electronically helps you keep abreast of anything you need to be aware of or need…such as bill payments, driver’s license renewals, insurance, government cheques, or other cheques that expire by a certain date if not deposited, jury duty, a wedding invitation, a letter from family or friend, or package deliveries like your medications, or an item bought on Amazon.
As you can see, there are so many Mail Forwarding Services available which makes it difficult to make the right choice. Pricing is important but you need to weigh in other factors to be sure you will be completely satisfied. All the above provide at least two options.
They deliver mail online and courier to you where ever you are. They each provide various packages within these options. Therefore, it is best to do your due diligence and weigh out each option to see what fits your needs.
Pricing is not always the best decision too so you want to look at reviews because customer satisfaction is important also. Some have Facebook, Twitter, Online Forums, and BBB available for review…or ask your RV neighbors.
Personally, I like the features of Online mail review so I can decide what I really need to be mailed. I like the option to bulk ship and to choose the frequency and the ability to change my forwarding address at will. Some services above offer check deposits which are a great perk.
One thing to be careful of is the extra charges. If they hold your physical mail for a length of time, it may be costly. You will have to monitor this unless you give them an immediate disposition to shred any unwanted mail after scanning. Again, each service is different, so be sure to ask questions in order to be completely aware and to avoid unwanted costs.
I suggest that you review the various services and their plans. Highlight what you like about each. They all have contact information and FAQs on their websites too. Make a list of questions you have and if you don’t find the answers then call or email them.
Having an RV Mail Forwarding Service is a great option to have, especially when you are on the road for a long period of time!
