Brief trip to Texas/RGV

Hello,

I am attempting to plan a brief trip south to look around the RGV area. We've already looked at Arizona but since I can't convince my DW to go there (she prefers green) we're going to do a dual-purpose trip. A little sightseeing, maybe birding, and look around some resorts.

Here's our quandary.

We have an older blind, diabetic dog. He travels best in our truck, hates the car. I had thought about renting a small TT and pulling it down to Texas, but: We can make good time in the truck, but not if I tow - prefer to keep the speed down to 65.

So my plan is to rent a TT down there for 7-10 days, and attempt to stay in a resort or campground. I am looking for places that may rent the lot for a week to 10 days, in order to get the feel for the place. It's not required, but it sure would be nice. Wife is over 55 and I am slightly younger.

Unfortunately, we have to limit the trip to 10 days as I can't take much time off work. My wife could work from anywhere with good Internet, so we are debating the possibility of her staying there for a month in order to experience it. She doesn't like the idea as much, as she will miss me and the dog ๐Ÿ™‚

Any parks or resorts in the RGV area that might rent for a week to 10 days? Mainly, I am looking for ownership parks but would consider others.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, they do...direct to Harlingen. I just can't fly in, because of the dog.

Appreciate the feedback. Wondering what the fastest time is to get from Minneapolis to Mission area has been? Google has it 21 hrs 47 mins...I doubt it'll be that fast.

Almost all of the 400+ parks in the RGV have daily and weekly rates plus plenty of vacancies available. The middle of January might be the exception for a few of the parks.
