Boondocking in Mexico?
Hey Everyone, My wife and I have been talking about our first RV trip to Mexico. We have driven to Rosarita & Ensinada in the past. We have flown to a number of destinations in Mexico as well. ...

Glad to find this thread.
Have a 2006 dually now and most curious about that being charged as two axles.
We have been down through Baja and three times to Yucatan. Rig was totaled two years ago on 186 between Orizaba and Puebla. Emergency responders and Orizaba hospital were excellent. Insurance has finally been settled and now we have to get the Temporary Import Licenses cancelled.
Should like suggestions on best route to Yucatan. We have been happy with crossing at Columbia Bridge and making it to Matehual the first night (Palms Hotel), San Miguel for a few days and then Puebla (if that RV park is still open – we have friends who were most helpful after the wreck). Mexico Mike wrote us to only go down the 4500’ descent on 186 to Orizaba in early morning to avoid the white-out conditions we went through last time at the wreck (70 car pileup). Have friends in Orizaba that spent time with us every day while Elaine was in hospital. The Pemex station is all night and lighted and 400 meters from 500 Escalones Parque National with an excellent up-scale restaurant next door. We spent a week there two years ago when the Newmar motorcoach of the Canadian couple who went back with us had to have fuel pump rebuilt.
We formerly enjoyed staying at Rancho Hermanos Graham after Orizaba but are told it is now closed. This leaves only the place at Villahermosa or Pemex at Palenque turnoff. The Rancho just east of Escarcega was great but it is probably closed. We have stayed at Bar Familiar halfway across the peninsula.
We should like to visit Merida but the only RV spot in town was locked three years ago.
