I started this sub to share, gather and explore new & old ideas related to the full-time RV living experience.

I started over a year ago after retiring from the business I had for over 25 year. My wife and I sold, gave away and donated most of our worthless worldly possessions, bought a lightly used RV (5th wheel) a great used pull vehicle and hit the road. So far the adventure has been 90% positive.

I would like to invite any and all people to join in, ask questions or share their experiences in this unique and growing lifestyle.

How do you manage things like security? Say, for example, some “teenager” decides he wants to break in.

How do you manage receiving letters and packages? I imagine you need to rent a PO box.

How easily can you connect to the internet? Do you have consistent service, or does it get spotty depending on location?

Is it viable to use a desktop in an RV, or does the possibility of bumpy rides make a laptop the safer choice?

Security.. https://poal.co/c/4ad834e1-01ab-42e1-8961-246b2edee951

Letters and packages... Really good question. We have a remote mail service that handles our mail. It's an actual street address. Our mail goes there, we can access thru an app where we can have the mail scanned, trashed or forwarded to us. Usually we are staying somewhere that will except packages for their guests. We found a lot of state parks will also do that.

Internet.. Last year we were in the most beautiful spot right on a nice lake. It was a perfect spot except no cell service at all. We were there 2 weeks. We had to drive about 10 mile to get a connection. At first we went thru a withdrawal period and then we just went and did the things we wanted to do with this lifestyle, hike fish and just explore. Usually that isn't a problem however. If no wifi we use our phones as a Hotspot and also screen share to our Roku for TV. We are at a private park now that has wifi included.

We use a laptop just because of space concerns. If you have the room by all means, bring your gaming rig.
