Roaming and boondocking in Mexico
This coming winter we would like to travel into Mexico and possibly do some boondocking, but also hear of the violence in various areas. Are there areas that are safe to cross the boarder, go camping ...

Did you eventually travel to Mexico? I've been boondocking there for months on end in the winter, since several years. I came back (limping after a major mechanical failure) from there a week ago, and I am already planning our next road trip in October. Over the years, we camped in every single state except Tamaulipas and Veracruz and never had any issue whatsover, on the contrary. PM me if you need practical info. on insurance, vehicle permits (TIP), tourist card formalities, etc. As for truck campers, Mexico has recently been refusing to issue a TIP to any foreign-plated vehicle with a GVWR over 7715 lbs -they consider them as commercial vehicles, unless they show as an RV on the title or registration certificate. We were able to get an exemption for our F350 after submitting photos of our camper on the truck but it was not easy to convince the authorities.
