Colonial Cities and big RV'S do not mix
Advice and warning to those of you who are visiting Mexico for the first time, the old Colonial Cities to name a few: Taxco, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato have streets that an RV will not navigate...

Market Day
In any southern Mexico town can be a real adventure. I remember the last time through Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca.
Mex 200 passes through the center of town. Only on that day the street was jammed packed. I had to drive one half mile per hour through three blocks. People were being rubbed by the side of Quicksilver as I eased though the crowd.
I actually nudged people with the front bumper. They ambled out of the way like beachgoers avoiding a wave. Thank god for those tall front windows. When I got to Tepanatepec I checked the outside. Not the tiniest scuff. All exterior handles are recessed. They are shiny chrome and I buff them like a mirror. There wasn't a single fingerprint on any of them nor was the 10-speed hanging off the front molested.
I know the short route to Rcho Sn Nicolas in San Cristobal de Las Casas, but for folks unfamilar with the route, park at a gasolinera on the "BOOLEY" a contraction of boulevard Mex 190 and explore the route via taxi. Straight down to Fco Leon can be a real bear in a long rig.
Every hear I hear about horror stories and Sn Miguel de Allende. Taking a scouting taxi ride is well worth the cost.
