We did about 20,000 miles in Mexico over 8 winters with a 30-foot "plastic" gasser, after- market slide, no automatic step (broke on our first Mexico trip and never replaced it) but with solar running to 10 outlets when the 2K watt Inverter/charger is selected, three holding tanks: galley grey, bathroom/bathtub-shower grey and black. 60 gallon fresh water and 60 gallon fuel. Fantastic fans. Backup camera to watch the towed car.
It's the towed car takes us into places far from the mading crowds. We once found a highway placed in the jungle paved to, but not including bridges. This shortcut from La Huerta to Hwy 200 near Punta Perula intersected this phantom road, thinly paved in a distant past, but with gravel roadway that led up, out of a couple of canyons, as no bridges had been made. The same vehicle brought us to 10,000 feet on a quest to find the Monarch butterflies.Though we would never drive the motor home from near Guadalajara to Melaque by the Pacific, we would drive up this Hwy 80, but would worry too much about the braking, if heading down it. So we'd drive past the volcano near Colima and up through Manzanillo, to get to a favourite beach.
Going south, and on our return trips north, we saw a bit more of this mahgical country, year by year. Yes, we missed a lot. Our final trip had us exit into Texas, and twice we've used these same vehicles to cross North America as part of our 14 years of travel in it, almost all done traveling south, in winters.
