Interesting article on RV park vacancy rate in Mazatlan.
There was a more extensive story but can't seem to find it now. Non spanish speakers just run it through google translate. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldemazatlan/notas/n3227738.htm

Yah I guess your right Silver. All about keeping an open mind I guess. I would love to hear some of your back packing stories. I guess in a way we are the same. We are flying to Amsterdam this summer and spending a couple of months travelling around europe and a little down into North Africa (Morroco) The following winter (2015) we hope to fly to Ecuador and try to cover the main attractions of Ecuador, Chile and Peru for about 6 weeks, or until the money runs out, whichever comes first. :)

J & A:
....I consider myself a "viajero", and travel without "an RV" many a time. ie. I would jump on a jet, fly to Panama, and trek through the Darien with my backpack for 60 days, staying at remote villages-- never more than 2 days in one place...there are all kinds of viajeros out there (genres of). I wouldn't say that I'm more a viajero than someone with an RV driving through Mexico, me jetting to Latin America and doing extreme expeditioning for a month or six. However, I and a Catracho friend did, at one time, wonder what in the he$$ those RVers were doing and thinking traveling to extreme eastern Honduras with a tow-trailer, stuck up to their axles in mud, once :B
