We've been wintering in Texas, but the RV parks we stay at has sold and we are tired of the whole right wing leaning of Texas. So we're thinking of other locations. We'll miss the beach and our friends but if we find a good place to land for the winter maybe some friends will come along. Does anyone know of places to winter in New Mexico?

Are you limiting your search to the southwest? Lots of great places along the gulf coast (other than Texas) if you head southeast rather than southwest.

Mexico is probably closer to that but weather can get cold even in the south part of the state. And even then, I've found RVers tend to be more conservative in general, particularly retirees. Heck, they drive RVs with big 6-7liter engines.Even in S. Cal, we found it tends to be less hard core left wing liberal at the wintering RV parks.

When the chips are down you will be amazed at how liberal the population is

Tell Your conservative friends you are left wing liberal ,, they will avoid you like the plague.

Most people are more in the middle or at least not extreme. If you don't engage in political discussion with the more extreme ones (of either side), it's really not a big deal if you practice tolerance.When the chips are down, most people set aside politics.

We started with a plan 11 years ago to find a new winter spot each winter. Started in the east valley of Phoenix and have been back to the same spot every winter as wife said too many nice people that are all from our neck of the woods...Mn & Wi
If you like to ride a motorcycle it's a good place to be, we can be up in the mountains in 45 minutes.

More good ideas. I checked out several locations in Alabama. They look promising. One question: are there NO SEE'EM (spelling) bugs in that area? We ran into those bugs in the panhandle before and they nearly ate me alive.

I don't recall any noseeums in Summerdale. A few early skeeters but nothing else of note.

For noseeums, try No-Natz spay or Avon Skin-So-Soft original bath oil.

If you are looking for warm Winter weather in New Mexico you will not find much. It is significantly colder in most areas due to higher elevations.

We are plotting a snowbird vacation to NM. Love the state since our car camping trip in late May many years ago. Wikipedia climate reports average lows in Las Cruces below freezing in January and near freezing in February. The altitude is over 3000 feet.

I have been trading emails with a friend in Albuquerque. It's a few degrees colder there. He says the cold snaps don't last long, and don't expect a lot of strong storms.

I would like to go somewhere to watch wildlife and pedal my bike. I don't know if NM fits the bill. Our trailer is small and it gets smaller as the temperatures drop. Last January in Northern Florida was surprisingly cold. Lots of good advice on this thread, thanks everybody! :)
