I have traveled exstensively in Mexico Guatemala, Belize Honduras and El Salvador. But in a private car not RV. There are many many rv's traveling through the area though.
These are my thoughts:
A gps is probably a waste. The roads are well marked and signed for the vast majority and GPS has so many mistakes right here in the US I just cant see the use.
I found driving there pretty easy. But I have driven in many foreign countries including Egypt and Cambodia so these are a no brainer. Actually once out of the huge cities things are pretty easy.
I am toying with the idea myself of buying a good used Dodge Cummins PU, (leaving my new one home) and putting an old camper on it to take a trip to Nicaragua. I would not hesitate to do this. Many "overlanders" from Europe are doing this route all the time in some VERY big vehicles. And more and more Americans are getting into the overlanding spirit.
