The SW deserts of the USA offer a lot of interesting places and spending the rest of our lives just visiting those wouldn't exactly be a penalty. So if it costs just as much to go into MX plus having to put up with the paperwork, the corruption, the bad roads, the potential for danger and crappy RV parks we're probably going to pass.

Sure, there are crappy RV parks in the US, and it can be expensive, and there is corruption and potential for danger here, too but since it's our native culture (and language) we can mitigate a lot of it because we understand how it works. For many RVers who do not understand how it works in Mexico that can be a big issue. So it's the total package is that would deter us. The cumulative annoyance of all of that would do it.

And perception, just as often as not, becomes the reality.

Agree, for the same price, with all the problems you mention, I do not know if I will take the plunge and go to Mexico. In the US, I have many many places to visit yet, even if I did put 60,000 miles in the last two years 1/2 traveling across, up and down. But again, there are many different things to see in Mexico and I would like to see it, even at the same price.

You guys hit the nail on the head. Plus if you throw in the ability to boondock and stay at National & State Parks, the Southwest starts looking mighty good. Those of us who have the Senior Pass for the National Parks think twice about going any place else. We will watch the weather and move to the warmest location, maybe the desert outside Yuma.
