Worthy & Roomy
The Vacationer Mailbox is designed just like our Fortress Mailbox, but with an extra 6” of depth for mail storage. It will hold approximately 3-4 weeks of mail. The slot is covered by a door, with pull-down handle, and has all the great amazing security features that Fort Knox Mailbox is known for, including: ¼” steel shell, reinforced 3/16” recessed doors, and narrow incoming slot. The Vacationer also has a designated outgoing mail section and ¼” steel flag.
Vacations Should Take You Away from Worries
You’re finally taking that much needed vacation! Vacations have enough details and adventures without worrying about your USPS mail back home. Enjoy your trip and return home to all your mail safely stored away inside this 136-pound beast of a mailbox! Don’t worry. It’s got both the space AND the security you need.
Get a Lot of Packages?
This mailbox has heaps of storage room and is very popular paired with the Slam Lock. With the Slam Lock added, this brute can accept a lot of packages! Storage space with the Slam Lock is 10” x 11” x 16”.
This is How It Works!
The mail carrier will pull down on the handle, revealing the incoming mail slot at the top (11.5” W x 1.75” H). Your incoming mail will be inserted and will drop down into the locked compartment. You are the only one with a key! Your mail awaits you, safely protected inside.
The Vacationer also has outgoing capacity. When the handle is pulled down, an outgoing mail shelf, (completely enclosed, and separate from the incoming area), is behind the door, below the incoming mail slot. The Vacationer comes with a flag. Your outgoing mail cannot be locked by postal standards, but it’s out of sight, behind a door.
The Vacationer is pre-drilled on the bottom. 4 holes, 6 ¾” apart, and designed to fit our Large Posts. It can also be mounted to existing surfaces.
It comes with our amazing, thick powder-coating finish to combat all the elements.

Verified Customer –
Our mailbox was hit today by a speeding AT&T service van. Our Fort Knox Vacationer flew through the air, only to be stopped by the support wires for an electrical pole. The Vacationer and post remained attached, landing in a ditch but staying intact despite the rainstorm.
We had to use cranes and a pickup truck to lift the extremely well-built, heavy-duty steel box out from underwater.
I purchased the Fort Knox Vacationer because we were experiencing mail theft—a problem that the Fort Knox mailbox completely prevented. I called Fort Knox shortly after the accident occurred, left a message, and was called back within the hour. The representative mentioned that she had our records from 2015 when the mailbox was purchased. I told her that we would like the exact same mailbox with the same security lock system. She had all the records, including the key code for the Medico lock system, so I ordered the exact same mailbox: the Vacationer, with the same post and interior light, without any hesitation.
Thank you for your dedication in providing an American-made, heavy-duty mailbox that is well worth the price. Thank you again for making such a wonderful mailbox!
