Traveling to Mexico As a Full Time Rv'er

During the winter months most Full Time Rv'ers move south to warmer climates. For most this is ordinarily Florida, one of the gulf states or Arizona. Most of these Rv'ers will have looked supplementary south at Mexico but up to now have not made the jump south of the border for varied reasons.

Most of these Rv'ers will know person who has done the trip even if it is only to some place such as Puerto Penasco or San Carlos which are both on the sea of Cortes, and only a few hours south of the Us, Mexican border. But even with the facts they have received from these travelers they will have misgivings about as a matter of fact doing the trip themselves.

Many people will cite security are their main concern about traveling in Mexico. And with the proliferation of stories that always seem to crop up whenever Mexico is mentioned, it is easy to see where there concern would come from.

First of all to put things in perspective, a new Yahoo report listed the Usa as the most dangerous western country to trip in. Mexico was not even on the list. Someone else report I once read out of Europe as a matter of fact listed the Usa in the list of most dangerous countries in the world to trip in. If you feel safe traveling in the Usa, you will be much safer traveling in Mexico. If you as a matter of fact look at it you will find that the stories are ordinarily repeated by people who are too afraid to trip to Mexico themselves, and then will account for it with rehashed stories. These same people will do roughly anyone in their power to stop you from traveling to Mexico since they cannot stand the concept of you doing something that they themselves are afraid to do.

All of my experiences of traveling in Mexico by Camper Van, Motor Home, and my cars have been good. In fact in all the years that I have done it I have never met Someone else Rv'er that has had a problem. Or even met one who knew person that had a qoute traveling in Mexico. In many cases we have been parked on free beaches in Mexico with our Rv and have left many of our possession's covering over night. Things such as tables, lawn chairs, our zodiac boat, hammocks and much more. They were always there in the morning. I would not even do that in Canada, much less the Usa.

I am currently writing this report from a cottage in the small town of La-Cruz about twenty miles north of Puerto Vallarta. We drove our Mazda Van down here from Canada for a months vacation. We did not have sufficient time to take the Rv this year. As usual the people have been treating us fantastic, and this year with the transfer rate of the Peso to the Dollar our spending power is the best that I have ever seen.

It is probably due to the so called "Recession" that not many people are traveling to Mexico this year. We saw many roughly empty Rv parks along the way. In fact the small Rv park on the property where we are staying is completely empty. The property has a million dollar view, and an Rv spot can be had for about to dollars per night.

There are a whole of good resources ready for the first time Mexico Rv traveler. One that I recommend is the book "Mexican Camping" by Mike and Terry Church. This book can be found on Amazon, and in many good book stores. Someone else good resource is the "Guia Roji" which is a Mexican map book. This book is also ready on Amazon.

There are Rv Caravan associates that you can sign up with to do an escorted trip straight through parts of Mexico. These are a bit expensive, but are a great way for a first timer to learn the ropes. You can find a whole of these associates by finding for Mexican Caravans on line.

Another way for a first timer to get comfortable with traveling in Mexico is to buddy up with an experienced traveler. If you stay in any Rv park near the Mexican border, you are sure to find people that are going south. Also once you get into the Rv parks in Mexico you will be able to find other buddies to trip with to varied locations.

So I encourage you to take the plunge and find out what the other side of the border is as a matter of fact like. Yes it is poorer than the Usa and Canada, but the Mexican people just do not seem to have realized that and you will find that in many cases they are much happier than the people you know at home. They will go out of their way to help you, and will as a matter of fact give you the shirt of their backs.

There are Rv parks everywhere, so until you get very comfortable traveling in Mexico, you can be colse to other Rv'ers every night. And then as you start to learn the ropes, you can stroll off more and more on your own. Either way you never have to go beyond your relieve level. The only hard decision will be making the decision to go to Mexico in the first place. Within a very short time you will come to understand just how easy it as a matter of fact is.
