Here's a cool item. This is called a Squidoo Lens. This particular lens is dedicated to mail receiving - forwarding. It has all sorts of great resources all about the topic of mail receiving -forwarding. Anyone who travels for extended periods of time - such as an RV Camper or maybe someone who has traveled out of the country - should take a look at mail receiving - forwarding.

Small Recreational Vehicles
Ready to hit the road and have some fun? A small recreational vehicle might be the perfect choice for you. The phrase "small recreational vehicle" describes a vehicle created with one purpose in mind: to have fun. One might consider go-carts, off-road motorcycles, ATVs and jet skis to fit the bill. While these examples are certainly fun, they are not really small recreational vehicles.
Fifth wheel campers and pop-up trailer campers are true examples of small recreational vehicles. They offer the comforts of home while you are the freedom of the open road. You probably wouldn't be terribly comfortable sleeping on a motorcycle, or cooking breakfast in a go-cart.
With each new camper introduced, designs have improved and space has expended. As a result, traditional small group or family campers are moving away from the "small" category. Although today's small models are still the best choice for family trips, new design enhancements allow greater comfort and flexibility, without forcing the user into maneuvering a monstrosity akin to an NFL team bus or rock star tour bus.
The lasting appeal of small recreational vehicles lies in their portability and readiness, rather than the amount of cargo they can carry. With just a few hours preparation, a small recreational vehicle is transported into a home away from home, while you're away from home. Small recreational vehicles are perfect for the "get up and go" types of travelers that don't like a lot of planning and preparation. They offer nearly as much freedom and flexibility as a tent, with firm walls and a ceiling to give added security and protection from the elements. After exploring new surroundings, a small recreational vehicle offers a cozy place to return and rest up before the next big adventure.
One could argue that pop-up campers and trailer campers aren't true small recreational vehicles, because they don't provide the recreation. They do however make it possible to find your recreation in more places and in more ways than you might imagine. You can travel the country in your small recreational vehicle and see more of the world--instead of watching the world pass you by.

Enjoy the elegance and luxury of the house on wheels
For those who prefer to remain active and mobile as well as desire the warmth and leisure of home, a recreation vehicle is their ultimate choice. Cruising the highways and byways here and there, traveling to towns both large and small, discovering the unexpected by changing directions on the fly, an RV is nothing short of a dream machine. The freedom of owning a recreation vehicle will move your independent spirit in so many ways.
Declining demand for new housing, low capital expenditures per employee, and a largely inexperienced work force have contributed to only modest long-term productivity gains in the motorhomes industry. Motorhome companies are very much professional when it comes to carefree mobile holidays and mobile accommodation for all your touring needs, whether business or pleasure. A well-equipped motorhome with arrangement that best suits your lifestyle relieves you of all stresses and always makes you feel at home.
Flexibility is always an important factor while making the perfect choice for your RV. Choose an arrangement that best suits your lifestyle. Always be in the lookout for the optimal available capacity along with the basic amenities that are essential while traveling. Enough room for sleeping, a well-equipped kitchen, spacious bath area, and cabinet storage are standard facilities that come along with all motorhomes. Exterior storage, overhead cab entertainment center and other plush amenities may be a bit expensive.
Getting away from the fray is easy if you own an RV. You don't have to worry about the usual travel constraints and won't be bound by clock. You don't need to make prior hotel reservations or check a list of restaurants or motels along the route. You don't even need to make a frantic search for a clean restroom. Everything is on board. The rolling house will certainly fulfill all your necessities and allow you to travel to your hearts' content. RVs are comfortable wherever you go. At the end of each spectacular day of vacation travel, it surrounds you with the familiar warmth, comfort and style of home. Plush interiors, contemporary arrangements and a selection of entertainment features will settle you to enjoy a relaxing evening, and a restful night.
Those vacationers who are a bit cost conscious can realize huge savings by cooking their own meals and staying at relatively inexpensive campgrounds. RV travel also offers convenience to families with children, pets or those who have special dietary needs and requirements. Giving your recreational vehicle a little extra attention at regular intervals can pay off in thousands of extra miles of reliable service and enjoyment.
RV's are manufactured keeping in mind the users' requirements and budget constraints. RV companies are striving to set a new standard for measuring quality in all the various classes of motorhomes. Given a choice of size over quality, many RV'ers are opting for the quality. Believe it or not, RV or motorhomes, by whatever names you call it, are a wonder in itself.

Work in Your RV: Can It Be Done?
Because my background is in the outdoor travel industry, I could hardly resist adding a topic here for my friends who work in their RVs. RVs are recreational vehicles, and you would be shocked at the growing number of camping enthusiasts who retire from (or quit) the corporate life for a life on the road... and they need income, so they work in their RVs on the road.
Whether you work in an RV or not, this topic may be of interest as an alternative way to "work at home." Can you imagine being able to travel, enjoy the sights you've never seen, and do it NOW, while you work at home or work online? There are thousands of people doing just that.
Resources for working on the road are stronger and more plentiful than ever. With satellite internet, wi-fi locations nationwide, and many cellular wi-fi cards now available, you're just four wheels away from doing "work-at-home" in a different state every week. It's not for everyone, but just maybe it's right for you?
In this topic, we'll be exploring resources for the "free spirits" of the open road, work-camping warriors who take the less traveled path. I'll also be inviting select friends from our RVScrapbook.com , a social network for RV campers. Many, many of my members there work for themselves, from the road.
But up until now, this has been considered very specialized employment. Most RVers who want to work in their RVs go to work at campgrounds or in National Parks. Recently, more and more of them are discovering work on the web, and finding ways to create unique and interesting web sites, which gives them an exciting venue for telling the world about their travels - plus making money!
Check in on this topic for things ANYONE can do, even with a very mobile lifestyle.

Explore Northern Alberta Behind The Wheel Of An RV
The Deh Cho Trail meanders through the boreal forest, pristine rivers, former gold rush towns and Aboriginal culture of northern Alberta. Travel Alberta offers insights into the
highlights and navigation secrets of the trail. Exploring this trail with an RV gives you a window on a magnificent world.
There's a bear grazing on the side of the road, munching contentedly on grass. And just yesterday, you got the rare chance to watch a gangly mother moose and her calf wade on the
banks of a crystal-clear lake. Driving an RV along the Deh Cho Trail in northern Alberta affords moments like these at every bend in the road. The rugged landscape - while vast and remote - is a modern-day explorer's dream, a land steeped in the unique culture and history of the region's early inhabitants and the traders and prospectors that followed. For those who do not own an RV of their own, there are accommodations to suit every need.
Whether you're traveling by car, bus or RV/motorhome, this 1,800-kilometre (1,118-mile) circle route is a classic road trip for adventure-seekers who like to walk (and drive) on the wild
side. This journey through the Canadian North thanks to its vast boreal forests, mighty rivers, pristine lakes and rolling prairies, rivals other classic driving routes such as the Alaska
Highway.
Aptly named, the Deh Cho (pronounced Day-Cho) is an Aboriginal term for 'big river', representing the Mackenzie River region through which travelers will pass on their 12- to-14-day journey.
This driving trek is sprinkled with scenic campgrounds and RV parks - a testament to the countless tourists who drive the route each year.
Officially, the trail loop begins in the town of Grimshaw, 440 kilometers (270 miles) north of the provincial capital of Edmonton. (Check out Grimshaw's Mile Zero Antique Truck Museum, which boasts an eclectic collection of old vehicles. A few kilometers to the east is Peace River, a former gold-rush town from which explorer Alexander Mackenzie launched his epic
journey to the Pacific Ocean.
Visitors can delve into the past at the Peace River Centennial Museum and Archives, which boasts interpretive displays on the region's Aboriginal culture, early explorers, fur trade and northern transportation. There's also a restored railway station, dating back to 1916, as well as the grave and statue commemorating a local character named 12-foot Davis, who found riches - and fame - in the mid-1800s, when gold was discovered in the Peace River.
The town, situated at the confluence of three rivers, is well suited to recreation lovers - boasting world-class fishing and boating as well as hunting, golf and ranch vacations.
Heading north on Highway 35, motorists will pass through a string of towns such as Manning and High Level that played a key role in connecting communities during the fur-trade and Gold
Rush era.
East of High Level is the town of Fort Vermilion, which competes with the northern hamlet of Fort Chipewyan as the oldest settlement in Alberta. Fort Vermilion was founded as a
North West Company trading post in the late 1700s; historic buildings dot the town and the restored General Store is a popular refueling stop for travelers. The Fort Vermilion Heritage Centre boasts tales from the town's founding days, as well as a unique experimental farm collection dating back to 1907.
North of High Level, the Deh Cho Trail crosses into the Northwest Territories at the 60th parallel, which is denoted with a bustling visitor centre. From here, Highway 35 becomes
the N.W.T. Highway 1, which winds through communities such as Fort Smith - a gateway to Wood Buffalo National Park - and Fort Simpson, a popular jumping-off point for travelers exploring Nahanni National Park.
From there, the route loops through communities such as Fort Liard - home to its famous hot springs and river - and south into the neighboring province of British Columbia. The city of
Dawson Creek, B.C., marks the start of the Alaska Highway, and travelers frequently stop downtown to get their photo taken at the Mile Zero Signpost. (There's also a visitor centre, museum and pioneer village).
Three hours later, travelers are back in Alberta's Grande Prairie, an urban oasis of 35,000 people that boasts several campgrounds as well as an assortment of hotels and motels. Check
out the city's history at the Pioneer Museum, or head to Muskoseepi Park to bird-watch and catch some rays.
From here, the road jogs north again back to Grimshaw, passing through classic prairie towns such as Fairview, home to Dunvegan - an interactive interpretive centre that recreates life in the 19th century.
Those who are still in 'go' mode can continue their drive through several routes: from Grande Prairie south on Highway 40 to the city of Grande Cache, a journey that meanders past pristine areas such as Willmore Wilderness Park and onto Jasper National Park; or southeast on Highway 2 through Slave Lake and Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park for great camping, world-class boating, fishing and beaches, plus an annual sandcastle-building festival each summer) and Athabasca to Edmonton.
