All I can do is relate my experience. Like many others, we have traveled 12 Mexican states by rv and all but one state for work over many years. We live in northern Mexico and I work off and on in Mexican border towns. We use the non-toll highways, stop for lunch along the way, etc. We feel very comfortable with traveling here, granted we live here too.
We can have a gun at home but can't travel with it. Such is life. I can't think of a time when I have ever felt the need to defend myself unless maybe it was a loose animal on the road or someone insisting I buy some fresh picked chile peppers from them. That's about as accosted as I have gotten.
It's a personal decision, much like boondocking in the U.S. We are headed to the U.S. and Canada for four months are very leery of what to expect as we prefer boondocking, not to mention local, state and highway police. The Canada crossing is another issue. So I guess it works both ways. For us on this summer trip it is "fear of the unknown" and it must be the same for people who rv in Mexico for the first time.
Come on down, we are a friendly group and very helpful.
