Snail Mail - One Size Does NOT Fit All
|
Why write an article about snail mail when there is so much written about it already? As with the idea of a "best campground", there is no such thing as the best solution to getting your snail mail. What works for some does not work for all. So if someone tells you "This is how you should you get your mail", take pause. One size does not fit all. This article points out several ways that might work. What works on one trip may not work on the next trip since conditions may vary.
First, think about the mail you get. Can you eliminate some of the mail? One of the things I like to do is respond to the "prepaid postage" bulk mail. I cut out my return address and mark it "remove this address from your mailing list" Then I put it in the envelope and mail it for free. I have no idea if this actually works, but I get pleasure from knowing that this bulk mailing business had to pay twice to mail something that I did not want in the first place. Silly? Maybe. But I enjoy that. Does it get me off any mailing lists? I don’t know. But check out this article about reducing the amount of snail mail you get.

Brakes for Your Tow Vehicle
|
Many states require brakes for any tow vehicle. Your insurance company may not cover an accident if your tow vehicle does not have brakes. But the main reason for a braking system is safety. Your motor home brakes are designed by the manufacturer to stop the motor home. If you are towing, you may want to consider an add on product for your tow vehicle. Mark Polk is well known for his expertise in RVing.
