When you are on an extended vacation, how do you deal with cash, especially you full timers.
- Do you direct deposit your checks from work/social security and use bank checks, then how do you get around then not wanting to cash a check out of town?
- If you need cash, to you have to use the cash station?
- Credit Cards make life easier but can you survive totally on the credit card?
thanks cd

My bank's ATM card is also a VISA. Accepted everywhere; bank just treats as debit when it comes in.

We have been fulltime for 7 years and have had no problems. we have all deposits direct to our checking. We use our Visa debit card. Good anywhere in the world. When we need cash we try to get it at Wallmart or Sams as they don't charge a service fee.
We bleong to Escapees and our mail is sent there. We just call them and they send it where ever we are. Heve fun Neil

I use my Credit Union account number 55513497 for my deposits. Then I use my Visa card number 5678 2346 0964 8653 exp. 8/04 to make all my purchases. Merchants treat the debit card just like a standard VISA credit card. Or at some places like grocery stores or Walmart, I use my PIN# 7623 to use the debit card feature and get cash back - so no ATM fees.

BTW, just kidding you guys about the account numbers. But works like this in principle. . . Hey, its Friday!

The ATM card solves the problem of CASH ,
The plastic solves the problem of charging stuff,
the great FMCA mail fowarding service solves the problems with MAIL.

Join up , set up a Mail fowarding account , call their 800# with the address where you will be (campgrounds , park or just General Delivery in the town your going to) and they send it priority (old first class) , and you get it in 3 days.

WORKS for us very well , the USPS wont foward magasines , but FMCA will.

The Escapees and NATO (national association of trailer owners) have equally fine services, NATO for 3 or 4 decades!

Now , Hit the road!

FAST FRED
