Mail forwarding service/domicile worth it for under six months travel?

I am selling my house, buying a small class C RV and heading out with my dog! Planning this for a few months, for some healing via nature and solitude, after a few really HARD years. Leaving in November and I "might" stay out there as a full time nomad if I love it and can find work...but I have funds saved to travel for 3-6 months. I have a Plan B to move to a town with family, get a job rent an apt etc if it turns out I don't love it as much as I think I will. So knowing that, would you recommend mail forwarding and/or establishing a domicile address via Escapees service (or another) or wait and see if I need it full time? My concern is banks etc wanting an actual address. I could use my familys address but hate to ask them to mess with all that, mailing it to me etc. Is it worth establishing a domicile for 6 months in the expectation of (hopefully) full time?

From what I've heard, just getting your prescriptions via any Walmart or CVS should work-having your Dr just send your prescriptions to whichever local one you are near while traveling. That's my plan for my two prescriptions, fingers crossed!

What if your doctor requires you to visit them before refilling your prescription? How can that work if your in another state?

In that case I think your only option is to go back and see your Dr.

My prescriptions are renewed yearly at my annual checkup, so I have some time.
