Extreme Newbie question

An extremely easy and short trip to do, that gets you into Mexico and shows you quite a bit of Mexico and its customs, is to cross the border at the Lukeville, AZ/Sonoyta, Senora, Mexican crossing. It's an hours' drive from there to the small city of Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point or, Phonex's "water front." Some rules that apply going farther south do not apply this close to the border. Make sure you have insurance that will cover you on the roads there; liability insurance is always with a Mexican company. Check with Lewis and Lewis for what you need, they specialize in this. You will need passports and if staying longer than three days, you will get FMMs, which are tourist permits. You may need deposit(s) for vehicle, for "temporary importation," not sure about that.

Rocky Point is located on the Gulf of California, also know as the Sea of Cortes. An excellent book for RVers is the Mexico Camping book by husband and wife authors, Church and Church.
