New to this site too, and already like what I see. We purchased a 2004 Horizon 40AD in August, after having a 30ft the traval trailer for several years. I retire in six weeks and plan to see the national parks this summer, for about six months or so. We have a 2005 Vue with the Aladin tow bar and US Gear toad brake. Can anyone suggest what is the best way to take care of my mail for that lenght of time?

Quince,
Welcome to IRV2. You will enjoy this site a lot.
Congrats on you "soon-to-be-retirement"!! I am green with envy

.

The two suggestions I might do if it were me is set up so you can have many of your bills paid automatically -or online if needed.

As far as mail- how about a "Mail Boxes Etc" They will send you your mail to you at what ever address you tell them to. (...you know you will be at a certain campground for a certain period... they will send it there so it is there when you get there-also let campground know it is coming to you)
Good luck and keep us posted on your trip ...

Glad to have you on the site and look forward to hearing about your adventures.

I can't help on the national park tour, but would sure like to hear about it. This is something we want to do some day...provided we can still afford to buy that much fuel.
