We would like to take our fifth wheel from Canada to Mexico to the Lake Chapala area for 3 months in Jan. 2017.
Can't say about road safety since I'm on the Pacific side. The issue seems to be a bit overrated though.
But I wonder if you've ever been to Chapala before, and what could be the reason to drive that far and to a place as "un-campy" as Chapala/Ajijic. Gringos own homes there, often getting in and out by plane to GDL, bus connection is excellent. The entire North side of the lake is one long developed stretch. OTH, RV parks there are not too numerous, to put it mildly. To think of it, a big 40ft motorhome is an equivalent of a small 320 sq.ft. studio (that would probably cost you less than RV pad in Jocotepec).
