Have RV, will travel is the motto professed by a growing legion of RVers entering their retirement years. With the time to finally indulge their desire to travel and explore the country, these retirees are embracing full-time RVing as a fun and economical way to travel.

If you’re considering joining the ranks of full-time RVers, here are some practical tips from other RVers on the move:

> Choose a bank with a national presence to minimize ATM fees. Banking with a national bank also gives you access to personal banking assistance at any branch across the country.

> Pay your bills online.

> Sign up with a mailing service to forward your mail.

> Arrange mail order service for prescription drugs you take regularly so you can receive your medications wherever you happen to be. If your insurer does not offer mail service, have your prescriptions  filled at a national chain like Walmart or Sams Club. This will allow you to easily refill prescriptions at any of the chain’s locations in the U.S.

> Always travel with an emergency medical file that includes information about who to contact in case of an emergency, medical records contact information including primary care doctor and dentist, copies of prescriptions for medications you take regularly, a copy of your vision prescription if you wear glasses or contacts, and a copy of your medical power of attorney and living will.
